1969 Map of Rondout Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Rondout Reservoir dominates this landscape on the border of Sullivan Co and Ulster Co, where the massive Merriman Dam regulates the flow of Rondout Creek. The map documents a critical piece of infrastructure, the Delaware Aqueduct, which channels water toward the city from these Catskill highlands. Settlement patterns are concentrated in small hamlets like Ulster Heights and Lackawack, while much of the surrounding terrain is preserved within the Catskill State Park and State Forest Preserve. Notable local landmarks include a Covered Bridge north of the reservoir and the Furman Cem located along the northern shore. The network of winding mountain passages like Lackawack Hill Road and Irish Cape Road connects the valley floor to high peaks such as East Mountain, reflecting a remote region defined by its timbered slopes and protected watersheds.
