About this map

The Hudson River dominates this landscape as it flows through the North German Town Reach, passing industrial and residential corridors at Cementon and North Germantown. This stretch of the river is defined by significant landmarks like Dewitt Point, Bush Island, and Wanton Island, which sit opposite the expansive wetlands of the Great Vly. The corridor reflects centuries of activity, with older settlements like Leeds and Catskill tucked into the northern edge near Jefferson Heights.

West of the river, the terrain shifts into the ridgelines of Kalkberg and Bethel Ridge, separated by the broad agricultural expanse of Kiskatom Flats. Notable family and local history sites are distributed throughout the upland areas, including the Jefferson Rural Cem and Saint Patricks Cem. Watercourses such as Catskill Creek and Kaaterskill Creek wind through the hills, providing natural drainage for small communities like Lawrenceville, Saxton, and High Falls.
