About this map

Monticello serves as the focal point of this Sullivan County landscape, where the concentrated street grid around Broadway gives way to a complex network of recreational and institutional developments. The map reflects the mid-20th-century character of this resort region, punctuated by the Monticello Raceway and expansive leisure grounds such as Kutshers Country Club and several golf courses. Educational and civic life is anchored by Sullivan County Community College near South Fallsburg and the centrally located Courthouse and Hospital in the village seat.

Water defines the local geography, with the Mongaup River and its branches winding through the western hills while a dense cluster of lakes, including Kiamesha Lake and Pleasure Lake, support the area's storied tourism economy. Traces of older transit patterns are visible in the Old Railroad Grade passing through Hurleyville, while the burgeoning infrastructure of the era is evidenced by multiple water tanks, a filtration plant, and various sewage disposal facilities serving the growing population centers.
