Maps of area explored

Picture

This map was from a previous walk

This map shows how Lehigh road runs over the old railbed then breaks back off to head back to the active tracks.

I found this map made in 1873 and it turns out the railbed we followed was an old alignment of the DL&W. Although its not a topo map where the railroad once crossed the existing road and comparing it to the current topo maps shows that this was the old alignment. The Lehigh Wye can be seen at the bottom and there is a page for that.
