1906 Map of Ellenville

About this map

Ellenville serves as the focal point of this 1903-1904 survey, situated at the junction of the Sandburg Creek and Rondout Creek within the deep valley of Mamakating Hollow. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic rise of the Shawangunk Mountains to the east, featuring prominent landmarks like Sams Pt, Indian Rock, and the Ice Caves. This era captures a significant transition in regional transportation, as the Delaware and Hudson Canal is marked as abandoned, while the New York Ontario and Western RR provides the primary industrial link through settlements like Summitville and Phillipsport. To the south, a network of historic thoroughfares including the Old Newburg Turnpike and Cochecton Turnpike connects agricultural communities such as Bullville, Circleville, and Thompson Ridge, where New Prospect Church and Grahams Church stand as local landmarks.
