1966 Map of Claryville

About this map

Claryville and the high peaks of the Catskills define this mid-1960s landscape, where the confluence of the West Branch Neversink River and the East Branch Neversink River shapes the local valley. This terrain is dominated by the Catskill State Park and the Hardenbergh State Forest Preserve, illustrating the transition from wilderness to isolated mountain settlements. Engineering for water management is evident in the presence of an Aqueduct and a Gaging Sta along the riverbanks. Small mountain communities like Ladleton and Frost Valley are connected by winding roads through the timber, while landmarks such as the Covered Bridge and the Lookout Tower on Red Hill highlight the historical and utilitarian character of this portion of Ulster and Sullivan counties.
