1965 Map of Jeffersonville

About this map

Jeffersonville sits at the confluence of the North Branch Callicoon Creek and Laundry Brook in this mid-1960s topographic study. The landscape is a network of small dairy-era hamlets and family-named terrain, where the dairy-farming legacy of Sullivan County is visible through numerous cemeteries and country churches like St Pauls Ch in Callicoon Center. The terrain is characterized by high points such as Swiss Hill and Mandrake Hill, while the valley floors are dotted with small ponds and reservoirs like Lake Jefferson and Anawanda Lake. The inclusion of Skytop Airport at the northern edge and the Jeffersonville-Youngsville Central Sch reflects the mid-century modernization of these rural Catskill communities. Numerous gravel pits and quarries are scattered throughout the hills, indicating the local extraction industry that supported the expansion of roads like Hubert Road and Swiss Road.
