About this map

The New York and New Jersey state line bisects this 1969 survey, where the valley floor of the Wallkill River meets the rising elevations of Pochuck Mountain. The landscape is defined by its colonial-era transport corridors, most notably the Minisink Turnpike and the historic Appalachian Trail, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Small agricultural hubs like Unionville and Westtown serve as focal points for a region crisscrossed by numerous rural roads, including Toad Pasture Road and Schefflers Road.

Hydrological and industrial features reveal the area's development, from the drainage of the Drumgoole Ditch to the remnants of an Abandoned railroad line that once moved goods through the Rutgers Creek valley. Local history is preserved at sites like the Minisink Cem and the small settlement of Waterloo Mills, illustrating a pattern of growth tied to the creeks and ridges of Orange and Sussex counties.
