1965 Map of Fishs Eddy

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The East Branch Delaware River carves a deep valley through the heart of Hancock, meeting the Beaver Kill at the settlement of East Branch. This 1960s landscape is defined by the narrow ribbon of industry and transport following the water, where the Erie Lackawanna RR serves riverfront hamlets like Fishs Eddy and Tylers Switch. Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain rises sharply into named ridges like Elm Tree Ridge and Johnny Ridge, where land use shifts toward preservation and recreation. The State Forest Preserve occupies significant acreage, while camps such as Camp Pine Cone and Camp Deerhead are situated near Sand Pond. Numerous quarries and gravel pits are scattered across the hollows, indicating the local extraction economy that operated alongside the timber and water resources of the Catskills.
