About this map

The Wallkill River and Rondout Creek converge in this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the transit and industrial corridors of Ulster County. The town of Rosendale and nearby Tillson serve as central hubs, while the map preserves the alignment of the Old Railroad Grade and the Catskill Aqueduct as they traverse the terrain. Traces of the region's industrial past are visible through several labeled Mine and Quarry sites near Binnewater and Cottekill.

To the south, the village of New Paltz is shown alongside the New Paltz Airport, with the Shawangunk Mountains rising to the west. Local landmarks like the Covered Bridge near Rosendale Plains and the Bonticou Crag landmark provide specific points of reference for genealogists and local historians. This era shows the developed road network including Springtown Road and North Putt Corners Road, connecting small settlements like Plutarch and Shivertown before the expansion of modern suburban footprints.
