About this map

Woodstock and its artistic enclave of Byrdcliffe sit at the base of Mount Guardian, where the southern Catskills descend toward the Saw Kill. This 2023 survey documents the modern layout of these historic creative communities alongside established hamlets like Bearsville and Shady. The landscape is dominated by high peaks including Mount Tobias and Ticetonyk Mountain, with the large expanse of Cooper Lake serving as a central geographic anchor between Lake Hill and Mink Hollow.

Transitioning from the dense woods of the Greene Co line to the more developed corridors near West Hurley, the map traces a network of mountain roads and hollows. Local landmarks such as the Kenneth Wilson Campground and Yankeetown Pond illustrate the area's long-standing role as a center for recreation and conservation. Small settlements like Willow and Wittenberg remain nestled along the watercourses of the Beaver Kill and Little Beaver Kill, maintaining the rural character of the Catskill interior.
