About this map

Kingston and its surrounding villages sit at a historic convergence of river, rail, and valley roads during the late twentieth century. This 1980 photorevision captures the urban layout of the city alongside the New York State Thruway and the Conrail lines, while documenting the sprawling institutional and spiritual landscape of the area. Significant local heritage is preserved through the mapping of the Old Dutch Ch Cem, Wiltwyck Cemetery, and St Peters Cem.

The western terrain is dominated by the Catskill Park boundary and the massive Ashokan Reservoir, contrasting the industrial activity at Wilbur and the Quarry near Rondout Creek. Between the hills, smaller settlements like Stony Hollow, Hurley, and Bloomington maintain their distinct identities. The map also traces the complex chain of the Binnewater Lakes and several local landmarks including the Municipal Stadium and Home for the Aged.
