1902 Map of Slatington

About this map

Bake Oven Knob stands as a prominent landmark along Blue Mountain at the northern edge of this Pennsylvania landscape, overlooking a dense network of industrial and agricultural settlements. The early 20th-century economy of the Lehigh Valley is evident in the concentration of resource extraction and transit, from the Consolidated Quarries near Slatedale to the multiple rail lines serving the river corridor. The Lehigh River acts as a major artery, flanked by the Central R. R. of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley R. R. through Slatington and Cementon.
