1967 Map of Unionville

About this map

Unionville and the surrounding borderlands of Minisink and Wantage are defined by a mix of agricultural processing and small-scale manufacturing along the state line in the late 1960s. The local economy is anchored by facilities such as the Johnson Milk Co, the American Silk Label Co, and the Sussex Distillery, reflecting the region's diverse industrial heritage. Rail connectivity is central to this landscape, with the New York Susquehanna and Western and the Lehigh and New England (New Jersey Branch) providing essential transport for the area's dairy and paper goods, including those from the Lewis Ripple Paper Co. Significant terrain features like Pochuck Mountain and the winding Wallkill River frame the valley, while a network of rural schools, such as Unionville Community School and Westtown School, point to the established community structure of the time.
