1959 Map of Canaan

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Queechy Lake and the surrounding valley communities of the New Lebanon and Canaan area are captured here at a moment of transition during the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Kinderhook Creek and Wyomanock Creek, which historically supported the valley's settlement. Local history is deeply embedded in the map's labels, from the educational legacy of the Mt Lebanon Darrow Sch to the recreational draw of the Lebanon Valley Speedway. Evidence of earlier transport networks remains visible in the Old Railroad Grade north of West Lebanon. The map also traces the modern influence of the New York State Thruway (Berkshire Section) cutting across the southern terrain near Flatbrook, contrasting with older thoroughfares like School House Road and Hand Hollow Road.
