About this map

The West Branch Neversink River and East Branch Neversink River converge near the heart of this mid-1960s Catskill landscape, centering on the small settlement of Claryville. Much of the terrain is defined by the Catskill Park and numerous tracts of the State Forest Preserve, including the Hardenbergh State Forest Preserve and Neversink State Forest Preserve. This intersection of protected wilderness and local community is physically marked by high peaks such as Denman Mountain and Red Hill, the latter featuring a distinct Lookout Tower.

Logistics and infrastructure of the era are evident in the path of the Delaware Aqueduct and the presence of a Covered Bridge crossing near the river junction. Further north, seasonal activity is anchored by Camp Wawayanda in Frost Valley and Camp Pine along the riverbanks. The survey also identifies smaller hamlets like Ladleton and a local Gravel Pit, providing a look at the rural industry and community layout before later decades of development.
