Allentown Map Art

Allentown's downtown grid runs perpendicular to the Lehigh River, which curves sharply along the city's northern edge before flowing southeast. Hamilton Street bisects the city on a diagonal, a remnant of the original plan that disrupts the regular blocks and creates acute-angled intersections throughout the core. The grid expands methodically south and west from this commercial spine, with Salisbury Township climbing the ridges that frame the valley.
