1969 Map of Port Jervis North

About this map

The confluence of the Delaware River and the Neversink River anchors this regional study, where the borders of New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey meet near Port Jervis. In the late 1960s, the area's industrial and transport identity was still defined by the Erie Lackawanna Railroad and the historic path of the Old Plank Road. North of the dense city grid of Germantown and Matamoras, the landscape shifts into a series of managed reservoirs and rugged ridges, notably Hawks Nest overlooking the river bend. The map documents numerous civic and religious institutions, such as the Agudath Achim Cem and several local schools like the Sullivan Ave Sch, providing a clear view of the community's footprint before late 20th-century suburban expansion changed the character of outlying hamlets like Sparrow Bush and Huguenot.
