1969 Map of Port Jervis South

About this map

Tristates sits at the convergence of the Neversink River and the Delaware River, marking the point where New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania meet. This 1969 field-checked survey highlights the diverse landscape of the tri-state area, from the developed streets of Port Jervis and Matamoras to the high ridges of Kittatinny Mountain. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes, particularly within High Point State Park where Lake Marcia and the summit reside. Local infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Conrail rail lines, New Jersey State Highway 23, and the winding Appalachian Trail. For those tracing family history, several prominent landmarks are noted, including St Marys Cemetery, Laurel Grove Cemetery, and St Francis Hospital. The map also preserves the paths of early transportation routes like the Old Deckertown Turnpike and the Greenville Turnpike.
