1964 Map of Kingston West

About this map

Kingston serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, showing a dense urban grid transitioning into the surrounding towns of Hurley, Ulster, and Esopus. The landscape is dominated by the Ashokan Reservoir to the northwest and the winding course of Esopus Creek and Rondout Creek. This era captures a mix of longstanding local institutions and modern infrastructure, including the New York State Thruway cutting through the terrain. Civil features such as the Municipal Stadium, County Hospital, and the Home for the Aged are documented alongside numerous religious sites like St Johns Ch and Holy Name Ch. To the west, the rugged elevations of Catskill State Park rise sharply, punctuated by landmarks like Morgan Hill and Gallis Hill. The map also traces industrial legacy through various quarries and the path of the New York Central railroad, providing a detailed look at the region's mid-century development.
