1916 Map of Wind Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Blue Mountain forms a dramatic diagonal spine across this region of Pennsylvania, separating the lower-elevation townships of Bushkill and Moore from the interior ridges of Weir Mountain and Cherry Ridge. The landscape is defined by the strategic passage at Wind Gap, a natural breach in the mountain that served as a critical corridor for both the Lehigh and New England and the Saylorsburg and New England transit lines. The map reveals a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, characterized by numerous local landmarks like Haynes Mill and Souers Mills.
