About this map

Unionville and the surrounding borderlands of Greenville and Minisink define this agricultural and industrial landscape during the early 1940s. The region is marked by a complex network of transportation and local industry, where the New York Susquehanna and Western and Lehigh and New England railroads connect small communities to manufacturing hubs. Local commerce is anchored by specialized facilities such as the American Silk Label Co, the Johnson Milk Co, and the Sussex Distillery, reflecting a diverse economy rooted in both processing and production.

Waterways like the Wallkill River and Rutgers Creek wind through the terrain, which rises toward Pochuck Mountain in the south. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of community life, locating numerous schools like Minisink School No 1 and quiet resting places including Westtown Cemetery. The presence of Quarry 1942 and various smaller settlements like Vansyckles and Hanford illustrates the mid-century settlement patterns along the state line.
