1969 Map of Port Jervis North

About this map

The confluence of the Neversink River and the Delaware River anchors this 1969 survey of the tri-state border region. At the center of this river-and-rail hub, Port Jervis appears in detail, showing a developed street grid including Kingston Ave and Pike St, alongside civic institutions like the West End Sch and Agudath Achim Cem. The Erie Lackawanna Railroad follows the Delaware River shoreline, passing through Sparrow Bush and Germantown, reflecting the area's long history as a transportation corridor. North of the river valley, the terrain rises toward Hawks Nest and the plateau of Deerpark, where a system of municipal reservoirs—Reservoir No. 1, Reservoir No. 2, and Reservoir No. 3—provides water for the growing river town. Settlement patterns follow old routes like Old Plank Road, connecting smaller communities like Cahoonzie and Huguenot to the industrial and commercial center at the valley floor.
