About this map

Broad Mountain and Spring Mountain dominate the topography of this Carbon County region, where steep valleys house a network of small settlements and coal-era infrastructure. The borough of Weatherly serves as a central hub, containing Union Cem and the Eurana Park Pool, while the surrounding landscape is marked by smaller outposts like Eckley and Rockport. The steep descent into the Lehigh River corridor at Lehigh Gorge provides a dramatic eastern boundary, showing the topographic challenges that shaped local transport and industry.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Saint Josephs Roman Catholic Church Cem and Methodist Episcopal Cem near the northern border. Cultural and industrial history is preserved through features such as Black Creek Junction and the small Grover Airport near Hudsondale. The map captures the enduring layout of mountain communities defined by the winding paths of Black Creek and Quakake Creek.
