2016 Map of Cannonsville Reservoir

About this map

Cannonsville Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Delaware County survey, where the flooded valley of the West Branch Delaware River has reshaped the local geography. The massive impoundment is crossed by the Cannonsville Bridge and fed by numerous steep-gradient tributaries such as Johnny Brook and Chamberlain Brook. To the south, the terrain transitions into a complex system of ridges and hollows, including Michigan Hollow and the notable Delaware River Gorge at the southwestern boundary. Small settlements and former rail stops like Kerry Siding and Apex dot the periphery of the highlands. The presence of several upland water bodies, including Russell Lake and Hathaway Pond, alongside the winding course of Sands Creek, illustrates the hydrological richness of this Catskill region watershed during the early 21st century.
