1965 Map of Roscoe

About this map

Beaver Kill and Willowemoc Creek converge near the town of Roscoe, a significant junction within the sprawling Catskill Park. This mid-1960s survey captures the area’s identity as a hub for trout fishing and mountain recreation, featuring numerous lodges and seasonal camps like Camp Highmount. The landscape is dominated by steep-walled hollows such as Lanfield Hollow and Parker Cook Hollow, with much of the territory protected within the state Forest Preserve. Large bodies of water including Tennanah Lake, Lake Florence, and Muskoday Lake dot the southern highlands, while the subterranean West Delaware Aqueduct cuts a straight path deep beneath the ridges. Small settlements like Cooks Falls, Rockland, and Butternut Grove follow the narrow river valleys, accompanied by local landmarks such as the Riverview Cemetery and multiple golf courses.
