1965 Map of Roscoe

About this map

The confluence of Beaver Kill and Willowemoc Creek at Roscoe anchors this 1965 survey, documenting a region of the Catskills defined by its water and woods. The map shows the sprawling Catskill Park and Forest Preserve lands, punctuated by small settlements like Cooks Falls and Butternut Grove. This landscape is marked by substantial hydrological features, including the West Delaware Aqueduct running through the northern hills and several large recreational lakes such as Tennanah Lake and Lake Muskoday. Significant local landmarks include Riverview Cemetery, Bonaire Cemetery, and the Skytop Airport near the southern border. The transition between Delaware and Sullivan Counties is clearly delineated, showing how the river valleys shaped the early road networks and community development during the mid-20th century.
