1969 Map of Ellenville

About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains dominate the southeastern landscape of this region, creating a dramatic backdrop for the village of Ellenville. In the late 1960s, this area served as a significant hub in Ulster County, where Rondout Creek and Sandburg Creek converge. The village core is densely detailed with civic infrastructure, including the Municipal Bldg, Library, and the Church of St John. Outside the main settlement, the land transitions into timbered ridges and upland bogs like Pine Swamp and Cedar Swamp. Traces of the region's industrial and transport history are visible in the Hudson Canal Trail and the Delaware and Hudson RR corridor. Local education and community life are anchored by the Ellenville Central Sch and Pine Grove Sch, while the surrounding geography features landmarks such as Hanging Rock Falls and Mt Meenahga.
