2010 Map of Alpine

About this map

Cayuta Lake and its surrounding hills dominate the northern landscape of this region, which is defined by the steep-walled valleys of The Gulf and Hendershot Gulf. The settlement at Alpine and the nearby Alpine Junction serve as local hubs in a landscape heavily protected by conservation lands, including Cliffside State Forest and Newfield State Forest. For the family historian, the map includes several isolated burial sites such as Lawrence Cemetery, Estabrook Cemetery, and Connecticut Hill Cemetery, reflecting the long-established rural community. The drainage of Cayuta Creek and its many tributaries, like Pony Hollow Creek and Chaffee Creek, shows a complex hydraulic pattern that influenced the placement of early homesteads and roads through the rugged topography of Oak Hill and Irish Hill.
