About this map

Eldred and Yulan anchor this late 1960s landscape in Sullivan County, where the southern boundary is defined by the winding Delaware River. The area is characterized by an extensive network of small lakes and ponds, including Washington Lake, Bodine Lake, and the remote Wolf Pond. Settlement patterns follow the valleys of Beaver Brook and Halfway Brook, with local institutions like St Anthonys Cem and Central Sch serving the rural community.

Transport and industry are marked by the Erie-Lackawanna railroad skirting the river's edge, while aviation history is represented by the Meadowbrook Landing Strip and Frenchman Field. The map reveals the topographical variety of the region, from the wetlands of Black Ash Swamp to the elevation of Tusten Mountain. This period survey captures a rural New York landscape where summer camps like Welmet Camps and numerous pipelines intersect with older rural routes like Turnpike Road.
