About this map

Neversink River headwaters dominate this Catskill landscape, carved by a network of steep valleys and high peaks such as Blue Hill and Denman Mtn. Before the mid-century valley inundations, the region was defined by small river-bottom settlements like Grahamsville, Claryville, and Eureka. The southern portion of the map reveals a shift from the deep forest of Denning and Hardenburg toward more developed dairy and early resort country, particularly around Loch Sheldrake and the village of Liberty.

Industry and transport are represented by the Ontario and Western RR skirting the southwestern corner through Ferndale, while local community life is anchored by landmarks such as the Union Church and numerous rural post offices like Aden and Ladleton. The distribution of scattered schools and cemeteries, though unnamed, highlights the pre-reservoir settlement patterns of Sullivan and Ulster Counties.
