1916 Map of Wind Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

Blue Mountain serves as a dominant physical barrier across this part of Monroe and Northampton counties, punctuated only by the notable geological pass at Wind Gap. This gateway provides a transit corridor for the Lehigh and New England railroad, connecting the slate industry of Pen Argyl and West Pen Argyl to the north. The landscape is defined by its ridge-and-valley structure, with Chestnut Ridge and Weir Mountain running parallel to the south, creating narrow corridors for agricultural settlements like Kunkletown and Brodheadsville.
