About this map

Pepacton Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this Catskill region terrain, where the hamlet of Arena sits near the water's edge. The landscape is defined by deep hollows and high ridges, including Barkaboom Mtn and Mill Brook Ridge, which separate the various brook and kill drainages. Historically significant structures are noted along these waterways, such as the Grants Mills Covered Bridge spanning Mill Brook and the Tuscarora Club Bridge further upstream.

Settlement patterns follow the valley floors, with the small communities of Grant Mills and Turnwood situated along the winding courses of Mill Brook and the Beaver Kill. Genealogists may find interest in the Banks-Eighmy Cem located south of Cross Mtn. The map also captures numerous high-elevation water bodies like Alder Lake, Big Pond, and Beecher Lake, connected by a network of local roads including Huckleberry Brook Spur Rd and Barkaboom Rd.
