About this map

Blue Mountain and Kittatinny Mtn form the defining geological spine of this region, carved by the pass at Wind Gap. This 2023 edition documents a landscape where residential expansion meets protected lands, including the Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refuge and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. The map details a dense network of smaller settlements such as Aluta, Belfast, and Bushkill Center, many centered on historic intersections and proximity to Bushkill Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points across the townships, from family-named graveyard sites like Ross Common Manor Graveyard and Bruch Cem to numerous active congregations, including the Holy Cross Lutheran Cem and Benders Mennonite Church Cem. These features, alongside the local judicial landmark Magisterial District Judge Courthouse 03-3-02, provide a clear record of the community's civic and social infrastructure in the modern era.
