About this map

The village of Unionville sits directly atop the New York New Jersey state line, serving as a hub for the agricultural and upland landscape of Orange and Sussex Counties. This late-1960s survey documents a region defined by its watercourses and early transportation routes, where the Wallkill River and Rutgers Creek wind through the valleys. The Appalachian Trail cuts across the center of the map, passing through Rockport and near Mt Salem as it traverses the ridge lines.

Evidence of historical industry and local community is found in the distribution of hamlets like Waterloo Mills, Westtown, and Quarryville. The presence of the Minisink Cem and various unnamed cemeteries provides vital points of interest for genealogists. Notable landmarks such as the Gaging Sta on the Wallkill and the drainage patterns of the Drumgoole Ditch illustrate the ongoing management of the area's rich bottomlands.
