1943 Map of Port Jervis South

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Port Jervis and Matamoras anchor this 1943 survey, marking the convergence of the Delaware River and the Neversink River at the junction of three states. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation change leading toward the summit of High Point, where Lake Marcia sits high above the river valley. The transportation network of the era is clearly visible, featuring the Erie RR corridor and the Matamoras Airport with its Airway Beacon. Rural life in Montague and Wantage is documented through small settlements like Duttonville and Colesville, and a series of district educational sites including River School No 1, Church School, and Clove Sch. This map provides a detailed view of the tri-state border region before significant mid-century suburban expansion, showing a landscape still dominated by forests, swamps like Cedar Swamp, and isolated upland lakes.
