1903 Map of Rosendale

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Ashokan Reservoir dominates the northern landscape, a massive civil engineering project documented here with details from the 1912 Board of Water Supply survey. The reservoir's creation fundamentally altered the geography of Hurley and Marbletown, submerging or displacing older settlements along the Esopus Creek. To the south, the industrial and transport corridor of the Rondont River and Rondont Creek reveals a dense network of villages like Rosendale, High Falls, and Tillson during a peak era of rail connectivity. The path of the Ulster and Delaware railroad and the New York Ontario and Western line trace the valleys, supporting the local cement industry and agricultural trade. This survey captures the transition from small farming hamlets like Kripplebush and Atwood to a landscape defined by the increasing water and transportation demands of the growing New York metropolitan area.
