  • 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.

Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 'Reston, Va. 1996 GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE ALLENTOWN EAST QUADRANGLE LEfflGH, NORTHAMPTON, AND BUCKS COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA Introduction The Allentown East quadrangle, in eastern Pennsylvania, lies across the contact of Mesoproterozoic (Plumb, 1991) crystalline rocks of the Durham and Reading Hills segment of the Reading Prong, a major external basement massif in the central Appalachians (Drake and others, 1988), with lower Paleozoic rocks of the Lehigh Valley segment of the Great Appalachian Valley and Mesozoic rocks of the Newark basin. These rocks are covered and obscured through much of the quadrangle by glacial deposits of pre-Illinoian age. The rocks exposed in this quadrangle have been studied elsewhere in eastern Pennsylvania and the reader is referred to Buckwalter (1959, 1962), Drake (1969, 1984, in press a), and MacLachlan (1979, 1983) for descriptions of the Mesoproterozoic rocks, to Drake (1965, 1969), Drake and Epstein (1967), MacLachlan (1967, 1979, 1983), and MacLachlan and others (1975) for descriptions of the lower Paleozoic rocks, and Drake and others (1961), MacLachlan (1967), MacLachlan and others (1975) and McLaughlin (in Willard and others, 1959) for descriptions of the Mesozoic rocks.
