About this map

Catskill State Park dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the vast State Forest Preserve blankets the high elevations of Mongaup Mountain and Slawson Mtn. The map documents a rugged recreational and utility corridor defined by the Neversink River and the high-altitude Neversink Res in the southeast. Significant water infrastructure is visible, including the subterranean path of the Delaware Aqueduct and the NY City Water Supply Bdy Res.

Small settlements like Willowemoc, De Bruce, and Anderson are centered around the valley's primary waterways, such as Willowemoc Creek and the Beaver Kill. For local historians, the map identifies specific community landmarks including the State Fish Hatchery and several established recreation spots like the Covered Bridge Campsite and Mongaup Pond Campsite. Numerous glacial ponds, including Hodge Pond, Frick Pond, and Sand Pond, are scattered across the peaks of the Rockland and Denning townships.
