The Lenn-Lenape Indians (meaning “original people’) lived in the area, seasonally, in villages along rivers and streams. Known as a peaceful farming and fishing tribe, they traded freely with settlers on their arrival in the 17th century. William Penn met the Indian Chiefs of the Delaware Nation on the land where Hilltown Village now sits. In those days, it was known as the "Perkasie Indian Town." Settlers, mostly Welsh Baptist, with the few Hugenots and English Quakers arrived in approximately 1700. They petitioned the King's Governor to establish a town in 1721. The Old Bethlehem Road (the Minsi Indian Trail), now called Hilltown Pike, was used from the year 1683 to travel from Philadelphia to the Durham iron mines.

  • 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.

  • Environmental Conservation Plan
    ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION PLAN Salisbury Township includes extremely important natural resources, including the mostly wooded Lehigh and South Mountains. The hydrology and other natural resources of Salisbury have great impacts upon the quality and quantity of groundwater and surface waters in the region. In particular, where groundwater reaches the surface at springs and seeps, it greatly impacts creeks and rivers and feeds into wetlands and other habitats. Salisbury Township is a stopping point for a wide variety of migratory birds, and a home and breeding grounds for many other species of birds and wildlife. Salisbury Township includes the headwaters of the Saucon and Trout Creeks. The Trout Creek and many other areas drain to the Little Lehigh Creek, which is a major drinking water source for Salisbury and Allentown. Other areas in drain directly to the Lehigh River. The mountains and areas at the base of the mountains are particularly critical for recharge of the groundwater supplies. The Lehigh County Conservation District in 2011 completed a Natural Resource Inventory (NRI) for Salisbury Township. That effort provided detailed mapping and analysis of many natural resources, including water resources, water quality, birds and habitats. A full copy of that report is available on the Township’s website. Prime Agricultural Soils The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) rates soil types for their ability to support crop farming. Soils most conducive to producing food and sustaining high crop yields are given the designation of “prime” and are rich in nutrients, well drained and permeable, as well as resistant to erosion. Prime agricultural soils typically have gently rolling to flat topography.

Box 37127 Washington, D.C. 20013-7127 HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD y, SKIPPACK STONE ARCH BRIDGE |- HAER NO. PA-311 Location: Germantown Pike over Skippack Creek, Evansburg State Park, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Significance: The 1792 stone-arch Skippack Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in continuous use in the Unites States and possibly the oldest to have retained its original dimensions. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Description: Skippack Creek is a shallow, slow-moving stream which flows south past the Germantown Pike. Trees cover on the gentle slopes to either side of the site. A recently restored mill stands north of the bridge on the western bank, and its tailrace rejoins the creek near the western piers. Eight semi-circular arches, each approximately 20' at the spring line, carry Skippack Bridge across the creek. The bridge is 2 67' long and 24' wide, with the top of the coping approximately 21' feet above the waterline. Both approaches slope down towards the center of the bridge, though the roadway itself is flat. The arches and spandrels are recessed six inches from the parapet and wing walls. The bridge contains several types of masonry: Large stones make up the piers. The cut sandstone voussoirs are the only part of the original arches still visible; over the past two decades sections of the rubble stone intrados have been strengthened with injections of gunnite, and in 1992 all remaining exposed sections were covered.

  • Red Maple – Mixed Shrub Palustrine Woodland System: Palustrine
    Red Maple – Mixed shrub Palustrine Woodland System: Palustrine Subsystem: Woodland PA Ecological Group(s): Basin Wetland Global Rank: G4G5 State Rank: S5 General Description This community type usually occurs on mineral soil with a thin layer of muck. The pH is somewhat acidic to circumneutral. Trees are sparse (10-60% cover) and generally less than 30 feet tall. Red maple (Acer rubrum) dominates the canopy, sometimes with a mixture of other trees such as blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), black willow (Salix nigra), swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor), pin oak (Q. palustris), and black ash (Fraxinus nigra). The shrub layer is typically dense and includes silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), winterberry (Ilex verticillata), spicebush (Lindera benzoin), smooth alder (Alnus serrulata), silky willow (Salix sericea), swamp rose (Rosa palustris), and buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis). Ferns usually dominate the herbaceous layer. Characteristic species include marsh fern (Thelypteris palustris), cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), crested wood fern (Dryopteris cristata), and royal fern (Osmunda regalis). Other herbs include skunk-cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), beggar-ticks (Bidens spp.), jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), and in wetter areas, arrow-arum (Peltandra virginica), wapato (Sagittaria latifolia), and marsh-marigold (Caltha palustris). Rank Justification Uncommon but not rare; some cause for long-term concern due to declines or other factors. Identification Tree cover between 10 and 60%, dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum) and usually less than 30 feet tall Shrub layer is extremely dense with shrubs growing on hummocks, including silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), winterberry (Ilex verticillata), spicebush (Lindera benzoin), smooth alder (Alnus serrulata), silky willow (Salix sericea), swamp rose (Rosa palustris), and buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis).
