About this map

The Neversink River carves through the heart of Sullivan County in this early twentieth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its river-valley settlements and upland topography. Small hamlets like Grahamsville, Claryville, and Neversink serve as the primary hubs within a network of mountain roads and creeks. In the southwestern corner, the New York Ontario and Western RR tracks pass through Ferndale, while the surrounding hills are dotted with high-altitude ponds such as Hodge Pond and Mongaup Pond.

The map records the region before the massive hydrological changes of the mid-century, showing the original locations of communities and landmarks like Union Church and Loch Sheldrake. Prominent peaks including Mongaup Mtn, Denman Mtn, and Blue Hill dominate the horizon, framing the drainage basins of the Willowemoc Creek and the Beaver Kill. This document is a vital resource for tracing family homesteads in townships such as Fallsburg and Wawarsing during a period of established rural industry.
