1943 Map of Monticello

About this map

Livingston Manor and the surrounding Catskills foothills are defined by a complex network of schools and early industrial sites during the early 1940s. The map captures the prominence of the New York Ontario & Western RR and the Ontario & Western RR, which facilitated local commerce such as the Creosote Plant and Dye Works near Roscoe. This era shows a landscape transitioning from the 19th-century economy of the Hudson Canal (Abandoned) toward a mid-century infrastructure of state routes.
