1922 Map of White Lake

About this map

Bethel and the surrounding Catskill foothills appear here in the early 1920s, a landscape defined by an intricate network of highland lakes and small rural school districts. The map documents the distribution of local education through sites like Wellstown School, Bushville School, and West Bethel School, reflecting the era's decentralized community structure before significant school consolidation. A notable industrial feature is the Pipe Line crossing north-to-south through the center of the sheet, cutting a distinct path past Toronto Lake and Whitney Pond.
