1967 Map of White Lake

About this map

White Lake and the neighboring community of Kauneonga Lake form the social heart of this Sullivan County landscape, a region deeply defined by its summer recreation and resort character during the mid-20th century. The concentration of settlements like Smallwood and Mongaup Valley suggests a pattern of seasonal growth around the area's numerous water bodies, including the significant Swinging Bridge Reservoir and Toronto Reservoir. Local family history and community life are anchored by landmarks such as the Cornelius Duggan School, St Anns Church, and several burial grounds including Temple Beth El Cemetery and Bethel Evergreen Cemetery. The presence of the Sullivan County International Airport and the Lake Superior State Park highlights the area's role as a regional hub for both travel and public leisure during this era.
