1965 Map of Walton West

About this map

Walton serves as the primary hub along the Delaware River West Branch in this mid-1960s survey of Delaware County. The landscape is defined by its deep valleys and significant ridges, such as Loomis Mountain and Pines Brook Ridge, where small rural communities like Loomis and Northfield established themselves near tributary waters like Teed Brook and Kerrs Creek. The presence of the Cannonsville Reservoir in the south, part of the New York City Water Supply, indicates the mid-century transformation of the local watershed for urban infrastructure.
