1964 Map of Mohonk Lake

About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains dominate the southeastern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, rising sharply above the Rondout Creek valley. This waterway serves as the central artery for a series of historic Ulster County settlements, including Accord, Alligerville, and High Falls. The map documents the persistent infrastructure of the New York Ontario and Western Railroad corridor and various industrial landmarks such as the Sandpits Aqueduct Siphon House. Local community life is well-preserved through the labeling of the Marbletown School, St Marys Convent, and Clove Chapel. The presence of the Accord Speedway and Camp Shangri La alongside the Accord Airport reflects the mid-century transition from a strictly agricultural and quarrying economy to one increasingly shaped by recreation and regional travel. Upland features like Mohonk Lake and Eagle Cliff provide a clear view of the area's distinct topography before late-century development intensified.
