2019 Map of Walton West

About this map

The West Branch Delaware River carves a deep valley through this corner of Delaware County, anchoring the regional hub of Walton. This 2019 survey captures a landscape of steep ridges and narrow hollows, where small hamlets like Pinesville and Beerston sit along the riverbanks while others, such as Cleaver and Loomis, are tucked into the uplands. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Walton Mtn and Loomis Mtn, separated by intricate drainage networks like Third Brook, Pines Brook, and Windfall Brook. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of the Walton Cem, Windfall Cem, and the Northfield Community Church Cem in the north near Northfield. The map reveals a persistent pattern of rural habitation where roads like Herrick Hollow Rd and Finch Hollow Rd follow the contours of the land, connecting isolated hollows to the larger river valley economy.
