2013 Map of Ashland

About this map

Batavia Kill carves a deep valley through the high peaks of the Catskills, anchoring the settlements of Ashland and Windham in a landscape defined by dramatic elevation. The northern reaches are dominated by Huntersfield Mountain and South Mountain, where the terrain rises sharply from the creek beds. This 2013 survey illustrates a region where local heritage is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Peck Family Cem and N Settlement Cem. While the lower elevations support agricultural and commercial interests like Kerns Nursery, the higher slopes are increasingly dedicated to recreation and conservation, evidenced by the Windham Ski Area and Bald Mountain Tree Farm. This documentation of Greene County shows a persistent pattern of high-altitude settlement at West Settlement and Sutton Hollow, connected by a winding network of mountain roads.
