1923 Map of Livingston Manor

About this map

Livingston Manor and Roscoe serve as the primary hubs in this early 1920s survey of the Catskill foothills, where the Beaver Kill and Willowemoc Creek converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of one-room schoolhouses, such as Russell School and Spring Brook School, reflecting the era's rural education structure. Significant industrial sites are noted along the river corridors, including an Acid Plant north of Rockland and a Creosote Plant near the New York Ontario and Western RR tracks, indicating the importance of timber-related chemical industries to the local economy. The rail line serves as the central artery, connecting settlements like Cooks Falls and Parksville. The terrain transitions from the higher elevations of Walnut Mtn down toward the resort waters of Tennanah Lake and Swan Lake, capturing the region at a time when agriculture and industry balanced with the growing tourism of Sullivan County.
