2016 Map of Bearsville

About this map

The artist colony at Byrdcliffe and the hamlet of Bearsville anchor the southern valleys of this Catskills landscape during the mid-2010s. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Mt Tobias, Olderbark Mtn, and Ticetonyk Mtn, which frame narrow hollows and creek valleys. Notable waterways such as the Beaver Kill and Saw Kill thread through the hills, while Cooper Lake and Yankeetown Pond provide substantial water features in an area known for its creative and residential character. The map illustrates a dense network of local roads and family-named routes like Sickler Rd and Shultis Farm Rd, reflecting the long-standing settlement patterns of the Woodstock area. This survey also records the county boundary where Ulster Co meets Greene Co along the northern ridges, showing the relationship between these mountain townships.
