1965 Map of Callicoon

About this map

The Delaware River defines the winding border between New York and Pennsylvania on this mid-1960s topographic record, where the Erie-Lackawanna railroad hugs the shoreline. This riverine landscape is punctuated by steep valley slopes, where prominent ridges like Long Ridge and Cherry Ridge loom over riverside communities. In the village of Callicoon, the St Josephs Seminary and its associated St Josephs Seminary (Cem) stand near the Athletic Field, serving as a cultural and educational anchor for the region. To the north, the smaller settlement of Hankins sits at the confluence of Hankins Creek and the river, while rural hamlets like Mileses and Fremont Center are scattered along the inland brooks. Local industry is evidenced by numerous quarries near Hawks Nest, while the spiritual and community life of the area is mapped through sites like St Marys Ch in Obernburg and Mt Zion Ch near Pleasant Valley.
