1943 Map of Lackawack

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Rondout Creek and its surrounding valleys dominate this mid-century survey of the Catskill foothills, captured shortly after the construction of the Merriman Dam. The map documents a landscape in transition as large-scale water infrastructure began to reshape the region, notably around the settlements of Montela and Lackawack. The terrain is marked by family-named farmsteads and rural institutions, including the Eureka Baptist Church and St Marys Church. Educational life is well-documented through a network of local facilities like the Ulster Heights School and South Hill School. These labels provide a precise record of the upland community and its social centers, such as the Furman Cemetery, before the broader development of the New York City reservoir system fundamentally altered the geography of the Neversink and Wawarsing areas.
