About this map

Rondout Creek and the Wallkill River converge in this mid-century portrait of Ulster County, where industrial history meets the rising peaks of the Shawangunk Mountains. The landscape is defined by its diverse water systems, from the expansive Sturgeon Pool to the secluded Binnewater Lakes. Evidence of the region's productive past is scattered throughout, including a Grist Mill near Tillson and an Old Railroad Grade that winds past Lawrenceville and Rosendale.

Cultural and civic life is anchored by landmarks like the Chapel of Boy Jesus and several local burying grounds, such as St Peters Cem and Coxing Cem. The map captures a period of transition as modern infrastructure, including the New York State Thruway, cuts through older corridors like the Lucas Turnpike. Distinctive features such as the Covered Bridge and the Bonticou Crag summit highlight the area's unique topography and historical character.
