1945 Map of Woodstock

About this map

Woodstock serves as a focal point in the southern portion of this mid-century survey, situated at the base of the high peaks of Catskill Park. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the northern mountains, including Indian Head Mountain and Overlook Mountain, to the lower valleys of the Saw Kill and Plattekill Creek. This era of development is marked by a complex water management system featuring several municipal assets like Kingston Reservoir No. 2 and the Saugerties Reservoir. Local settlements such as Shultis Corners, Zena, and West Saugerties are mapped alongside small rural landmarks like the Chestnut Hill Cem and Pine Grove Sch, documenting the established community structure of Ulster County before later suburban expansion. The boundary between Greene and Ulster counties follows the rugged ridgelines through the high country.
