1973 Map of Canaan

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

New Lebanon and Canaan dominate this 1970s landscape, situated along the winding paths of Kinderhook Creek and Wyomanock Creek. The map documents a corridor of significant local institutions and recreation, from the Lebanon Valley Speedway in the northwest to the Berkshire Farm For Boys and the Mt Lebanon Darrow Sch near the Massachusetts state line. This era captures the transition of the region's transport networks, where the Penn Central railroad lines and the New York Thruway (Berkshire Section) cross through the valley. Residential and historical sites are densely mapped, including the Cemetery of the Evergreens and several smaller burial grounds like the Cornwall-Tilden Cem. The presence of Shaker Swamp and Queechy Lake highlights the significant water features that have long influenced settlement patterns in these Taconics foothills.
