1942 Map of Ashokan

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Ashokan Reservoir dominates the landscape of Ulster County in this wartime-era survey, reflecting the massive infrastructure changes made to secure New York City's water supply. The Ashokan Dam stands as the central engineering feature, separating the west and east basins. To the north of the water, the New York Central railroad tracks skirt the shoreline, passing through the settlements of Shokan and Ashokan. This rail line once provided vital transport through the Catskill region before the flooding of the valley transformed local geography.
