1895 Map of Catskill

USGS Topo · Published 1897

About this map

Hudson River commerce and the late 19th-century rail network define this landscape of Columbia and Ulster counties. The New York Central and Hudson River R. R. and West Shore R. R. flank the river, connecting riverside communities like Saugerties and Germantown to regional markets. The topography is dotted with family-named landmarks and smaller settlements such as Katsbaan, Quarryville, and Upper Red Hook, which reflect the area's agricultural and industrial roots during this era of growth. Further inland, the complex hydrology of Catskill Creek, Kaaterskill Creek, and the Roeliff Jansen Kill suggests a landscape tied to water power and transportation. Notable landmarks like Mount Merino and Mount Marion provide fixed points for understanding the early surveying and settlement patterns of the Hudson Valley.
