1965 Map of Horton

About this map

The Beaver Kill river corridor serves as the primary artery through this portion of the Catskills, where small hamlets like Horton and Peakville are situated along the valley floor. In the mid-1960s, this landscape was defined by its transition from agricultural valley pockets to protected wilderness, evidenced by the extensive Catskill State Park and State Forest Preserve boundaries. The map documents an era of infrastructure modernization, specifically noting the highway segments under construction alongside the river.
