About this map

Claryville sits at the confluence where the West Branch Neversink River and East Branch Neversink River join to form the main stem of the Neversink River. This remote section of the Catskills is defined by high peaks and narrow hollows, straddling the border of Ulster and Sullivan counties. Significant engineering for New York City's water supply is visible underground through the paths of the West Delaware Aqueduct and East Delaware Aqueduct, which tunnel through the deep bedrock beneath the mountains.

The high ground is dominated by peaks such as Denman Mountain, Blue Hill, and Red Hill, the latter of which features the Red Hill Fire Tower. Long-established mountain roads like Frost Valley Road and County Road 47 follow the natural contours of the valley floors, providing access to isolated settlements like Frost Valley. The landscape is a network of cold-water streams including Willowemoc Creek, Pigeon Brook, and Fir Brook, which drain the timbered slopes into the river system below.
