1986 Map of Monticello

About this map

The Catskill Mountains and Shawangunk Mountains dominate this mid-1980s look at the intersection of Sullivan, Ulster, and Orange counties. The landscape is defined by the massive engineering of the New York City water supply system, featuring the Ashokan Reservoir, Rondout Reservoir, and Neversink Reservoir. These bodies of water are joined by smaller reservoirs like Swinging Bridge Reservoir and the Toronto Reservoir, illustrating the mid-century transformation of the region's watersheds into a critical utility network.
