1986 Map of Middletown
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The Hudson River and Delaware River define the eastern and western boundaries of this mid-1980s landscape, where the highlands of New York meet northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The United States Military Academy at the West Point Military Reservation anchors the northeastern corner, situated near the steep heights of Storm King Mountain and Bear Mountain. Moving west, the topography transitions from the dense woodlands of Harriman State Park to the rolling dairy country around Goshen and Warwick. This era shows the developed suburban corridors along the New York State Thruway and Garden State Parkway in the south, contrasted with the managed wilderness of Stokes State Forest and the Kittatinny Mountains. A complex system of reservoirs, including the Wanaque Reservoir and Monksville Reservoir, illustrates the region's critical role in the tri-state water supply network.
