1966 Map of Monticello

About this map

Monticello serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s landscape, positioned as a regional hub of civic life and recreation within the Catskills. The village is anchored by its courthouse, hospital, and several schools including St Peters Sch and the Cooke Sch. To the northwest, the prominent Monticello Raceway highlights the area's significance as a destination for harness racing. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of resort-era landmarks, from Kutshers Country Club near Anawana Lake to the expansion of Sullivan County Community College near South Fallsburg. This era also shows the remnants of earlier infrastructure, such as the Old Railroad Grade passing through Hurleyville, tracing the path of the former Ontario and Western Railway. Scattered throughout are local landmarks like the Brookside Cem and Rock Ridge Cem, which provide valuable touchstones for genealogical research in Thompson and Fallsburg.
