About this map

The village of Ellenville serves as the focal point of this late-1960s survey, situated where Sandburg Creek meets the Rondout Creek. The settlement pattern reflects a valley community organized around civic and industrial infrastructure, including a Municipal Building, Community Hospital, and the Ellenville Central School. To the west, the landscape transitions into the town of Wawarsing and the Greenfield Park area, where smaller water bodies like Windsor Lake and Cranberry Lake dot the higher elevations.

Tracing the southern valley toward Phillipsport, the presence of several Gravel Pits and the Sewage Disposal plant near Spring Glen indicates the mid-century industrial footprint. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the steep slopes of the Shawangunk Mountains, where the hamlet of Cragsmoor is perched near Bear Hill. This terrain creates a sharp geographic divide between the developed valley floor and the wooded ridges of Mamakating and Shawangunk.
