About this map

Esopus Creek winds past the burgeoning suburban developments of Hurley and Lincoln Park as they expanded toward the mid-century. This survey illustrates the vital infrastructure of the era, from the massive Ashokan Reservoir at the western edge to the Filtration Plant and Municipal Stadium serving the local population. The landscape is a mix of industrial and institutional landmarks, including the County Hospital and several parochial sites like St Josephs Sch and St Josephs Hall.

Transitioning from the dense grid of Kingston to the more varied terrain of the Catskill Park, the map captures a network of small water bodies such as Onteora Lake and the chain of Binnewater Lakes. Settlements like Eddyville and Wilbur are situated along the lower Rondout Creek, reflecting the historic importance of these waterways. Local landmarks like Fly Mountain and Jockey Hill provide a glimpse into the topographical character that shaped the region's development.
