About this map

Andes serves as the central hub of this Catskill Mountain landscape, situated at the junction of several prominent valley roads. The 1960s terrain is defined by a series of steep ridges and hollows, including Ding Le Hill and Grays Mountain, where dairy farming and timber interests shaped the early road network. Evidence of the region's transport history is visible in the Old Tremper Railroad Grade, which follows the winding path of the Tremper Kill through the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Remote upland settlements and family-named landmarks such as Calhoun Hill and Murphy Hill punctuate the landscape, alongside social centers like the Cabin Hill Ch and several small cemeteries. Notable water features, including Lake Delaware and the secluded The Bullet Hole, highlight the area's natural drainage into the Little Delaware River. The map also captures several private recreational developments, seen in the residential clusters around Tunis Lake and Silver Lake.
