1949 Map of Whitney Point

About this map

The Whitney Point Flood Control Dam dominates the northern landscape, managing the confluence where the Otselic River meets the Tioughnioga River. This post-war era survey shows the village of Whitney Point as a regional hub, complete with its Fairgrounds and proximity to the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad. The valley floor is marked by active transit corridors, including the ancient route of the Catskill Turnpike, while the surrounding uplands like Kales Hill and Pendell Hill remain largely rural.
