1997 Map of Palmerton
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
The Lehigh River and the parallel Lehigh Canal dominate the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking the historic industrial corridor where Palmerton and Slatington developed. While the valley floor is occupied by heavy infrastructure like the Conrail railroad and local airports, the terrain is defined by the sharp rise of Blue Mountain and Stony Ridge, which channel development into tight valleys. The Appalachian Trail follows the high ridge line, overlooking a mix of concentrated industry and scattered rural settlements such as Danielsville and Berlinsville.
