  • Little Lehigh Creek Visual Assessment WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP ALLENTOWN CITY
    Coldwater Heritage Partnership LITTLE LEHIGH CREEK COLDWATER CONSERVATION PLAN October 2007 Acknowledgements This project was not possible without the support of the partners listed below. The Lehigh County Conservation District (LCCD) was critical in the development of the Con- servation Plan. The Watershed Specialist Rebecca Kennedy and Conservation Program Spe- cialist Erin Frederick took on significant roles beyond expectations to ensure success. They were involved in all aspects including developing the protocol for the visual stream assess- ment, surveying dozens of reaches, and designing a GIS format to better interpret the data col- lected. LCCD invested enormous amounts of resources and GIS expertise that allowed the partners to develop a Conservation Plan more comprehensive than thought possible. In addition, dedicated members of the Little Lehigh Trout Unlimited and Saucon Creek Water- shed Association volunteered numerous hours walking the main stem of the Little Lehigh Creek to assess the state of the waterway. Two members of the Saucon Creek Watershed Association deserve special recognition. These volunteers surveyed the greatest number of reaches and their dedication was greatly appreci- ated. Terry Boos Ray Follador We would like to also thank the hard work of the following volunteers that spent time assessing the creek. Bob Ditmars Greg Gliwa Allan Johnson Stacy Reed Jeff Sabo Burt Schaffer Mario Spagnoletti Powen Wang This plan was made possible through a grant from the Coldwater Heritage Partnership. The Partnership is a collabo- rative effort between the PA Fish & Boat Commission, PA De- partment of Conservation and Natural Resources, Western Penn- sylvania Watershed Protection Program and Pennsylvania Trout.

  • There Is General Interest in the Derivation of Place Names, Fainly
    TOPONYMY By BENJAMI~V L. MILLER There is general interest in the derivation of place names, Fainly because of the historic significance, but also on account of an Innate curiosity that is almost universal. In many instances the reasons for the designation are obvious, as for example, the naming of a town “ Uountainville” when it is lo)cated at the foot or on the top of a mountain ; calling a stream “Rock Creek” when its channel or valley is conspicuously rocky ; or naminv a stream with numerous meanders ‘ ‘ Crooked Creek. ” In other case; the reasons are not apparent and are not known even to the inhabitants of the region. It 1s alsl? not unusual to find conflicting explanations. When this occurs, the dlffer- ent origins are given. It is probable that some of the interpretations offered here will be challenged. It is hoped that any disagreements of this sort will be made available to th,e writer and others interested in this subject. In such an area as Lehigh C’ounty, with a recorded history of less than 240 years, it is usual157 , but not always, possible to discover why the place names have been assigned. In other parts of the world, toponymic investigators encounter almost insuperable difficulties. The data for this chapter have been collected during an investiga- tion of the maps and descriptive materials dealing with this area; individuals familiar with some phases of the study have also eon- tributed. Both published and manuscript documents have been con- sulted, local histories, travel books, newspapers, etc. The more lm- portant of these are included in the Bibliography and Cartography which constitute another chapter in this volume and, m general, to not require specific mention here.

A dramatic population increase is projected for much of the Lehigh Valley, which has already been seen in Lower Macungie Township. Lower Macungie Township surrounds both Alburtis and most of Macungie Boroughs. For Lower Macungie Township, an anticipated leap from 19,220 (Year 2000 Census) to 32,966 (Year 2030 LVPC Forecast) will directly impact the East Penn area with increased traffic, more homes, additional students, and park participants. A recent approval of a 700-home subdivision in Lower Macungie Township, between Macungie and Alburtis Boroughs, exemplifies this development trend.
