1945 Map of Hensonville

About this map

Catskill State Park dominates the southern landscape of this 1945 survey, where the massive elevations of the Blackhead Mountains rise sharply above the river valleys. The topography is defined by significant peaks like Black Dome and Thomas Cole Mtn, which tower over the Black Dome Valley. Settlement follows the water, with the community of Maplecrest situated along the Batavia Kill and Hensonville positioned near the junction of several mountain roads. The northern portion of the map transitions into the townships of Durham and Cairo, featuring smaller clusters like Cornwallville and East Windham. High-altitude landmarks, including a Lookout Tower near Point Lookout, suggest the area's importance for forest observation, while upland notches such as Barlow Notch and Jennie Notch indicate the natural passes through the high ridges.
