1910 Map of Neversink

About this map

Grahamsville and Woodbourne anchor the southern valleys of this region before the mid-century creation of major reservoirs. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Neversink River and the Willowemoc Creek, which supported numerous small lakeside and riverside communities. In the southwest, the Ontario and Western RR cuts through Liberty and Ferndale, facilitating travel and trade during this era of upstate expansion. Numerous smaller settlements and landings like Divine Corners, Eureka, and Claryville are shown at their peak, connected by early mountain roads. The map also documents a high concentration of named water bodies such as Loch Sheldrake, Mongaup Pond, and Hunter Pond, which helped establish the area as a destination for seasonal visitors and local industry.
