About this map

Unionville and the surrounding agricultural valleys straddle the border between Orange County and Sussex County during the late 1960s. This landscape is defined by the winding course of the Wallkill River and its tributaries, including Rutgers Creek and Indigot Creek, which supported early industry at sites like Waterloo Mills. The map details a transition from traditional farming to a modernizing rural infrastructure, evident in the mix of old turnpikes and newer pipelines crossing the terrain.

Researchers will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Minisink Cem near Westtown to the sprawling Pochuck Mountain to the south. The presence of the Appalachian Trail cutting through Rockport and across the New York and New Jersey state line provides a clear picture of the region's recreational and geographic boundaries. Smaller hamlets like Logtown, Quarryville, and Smith Corners remain connected by a network of local roads such as Minisink Turnpike and Toad Pasture Road.
