1965 Map of Horton

About this map

Beaver Kill flows across the northern reaches of this Delaware County landscape, carving a valley that hosts the primary settlements and transportation corridors of the mid-1960s. The map captures the quiet transition of small hamlets like Horton and Peakville, where local infrastructure including a Landing Strip and Quarries reflect a mixture of recreation and light industry. To the south, the terrain rises into the Catskill State Park, where winding roads such as Milk Road and Eminence Road connect family-named homesteads and secluded features like Basket Pond and Deer Lake. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Rock Valley Ch and various Cem locations scattered near Goulds and Burnwood. The presence of Camp Manitou and the extensive State Forest Preserve lands underscores the region's enduring character as a protected woodland retreat.
