About this map

White Sulphur Springs and the surrounding Catskill foothills appear here in a period of mid-century development. The landscape is defined by its numerous private lakes and recreational sites, such as Swan Lake, Revonah Lake, and Pearl Lake, many of which served the region's historic resort and summer camp economy. Significant local infrastructure is visible, including the Liberty-Loomis Hospital and several reservoirs supporting the growth of the village of Liberty.

Tracing the rural road network reveals names tied to local families, such as Taylor Rd, O'Keefe Hill Rd, and McAuliffe Rd. In the north, the settlement of Parksville sits along the Beaver Kill, while the western hills around Shandelee remain more sparsely populated. Small-scale landmarks like All Souls Chapel and various gravel pits point to the localized industry and community life that shaped this part of Sullivan County.
