1969 Map of Alpine

About this map

Cayuta Lake and the surrounding hills of the Southern Tier are documented here in 1969, showing a landscape defined by state-managed lands and early transportation corridors. The Lehigh Valley railroad cuts through the terrain, passing through the hamlets of Alpine and Alpine Junction, where the tracks flank the eastern edge of Hinman Swamp. This era of the late 1960s shows the extensive footprint of public conservation efforts, with the Connecticut Hill State Game Management Area and Newfield State Forest covering much of the high ground around Swan Hill and Bull Hill.
