About this map

Monticello serves as the central hub for this early twentieth-century survey of Sullivan County, where the landscape is defined by the winding Neversink River and the rising Shawangunk Mts. The region's character is deeply tied to the New York Ontario and Western railroad, which supported a growing resort and summer colony culture. This is evident in the cluster of stations and settlements like Hurleyville (Luzon Sta) and Merriewold (St. Josephs Sta).

A network of water bodies, including Yankee Lake, Wolf Reservoir, and Anawana Lake, hints at the area's transition toward recreation and water management. Industrial traces remain visible along the Port Jervis and Kingston Div and the historic Cochecton Road, while smaller hamlets like Bridgeville and Oakland Valley mark the intersections of river and road commerce before the mid-century expansion of modern infrastructure.
