About this map

The village of Unionville serves as the focal point for this survey of the New York and New Jersey borderlands, where the New York Susquehanna and Western railroad corridor supported local industry and commerce. Industrial sites such as the American Silk Label Co, Lewis Ringle Paper Co, and the Sussex Distillery highlight the manufacturing character of the region during the post-war era. The landscape transitions from the agricultural valley of the Wallkill River to the prominent heights of Pochuck Mountain in the southeast.

Local education and social life are documented through numerous district schools, including Greenville School, Minisink School # 1, and the Westtown School. To the west, the Wolf Pit Red & Gun Club and a Quarry 1942 indicate diverse land use from recreation to resource extraction. Small hamlets like Westtown, Greenville, and Hanford are connected by a network of rural roads, anchoring the genealogical record of Orange and Sussex counties.
