1969 Map of Kerhonkson

About this map

Rondout Creek carves a deep valley through this portion of Ulster County, where the industrial and transport infrastructure of the late 1960s meets the edge of the Catskill Park. The village of Kerhonkson serves as a primary hub, situated near the Kerhonkson Reservoir and the subterranean route of the Delaware Aqueduct. The landscape transition is marked by the contrast between the valley floor settlements and the rising terrain of the State Forest Preserve to the north. Smaller, family-named hamlets like Cherrytown, Mombaccus, and Pataukunk are linked by winding routes such as Samsonville Road and Turnpike Road. Local aviation is represented by Sages Airfield, while the area's educational and social history is anchored by sites like the Liebhardt Sch. The map also captures numerous watercourses including the Vernooey Kill and its Vernooey Falls, highlighting the region's complex drainage system.
