About this map

The East Branch Delaware River carves a winding path through this corner of the Catskills, serving as the central artery for a series of small riverbank settlements including Shinhopple, Gregorytown, and Corbett. This 2010 survey illustrates the deeply etched topography of the region, where numerous hollows like Lindsley Hollow and Possession Hollow drain into the main valley from high points such as Fork Mountain and Baxter Mountain. The landscape is defined by its transition from high ridges to fertile valley floors, which supported the development of small hamlets and local infrastructure.

Local history researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds, such as Wilson Hollow Cemetery and the Long Flat Cemetery near the southern bend of the river. The presence of the Downsville Airport and the Cherry Grove Picnic Area indicates the modern balance of utility and recreation in this rural New York landscape. Diverse water bodies, from Russ Gray Pond in the north to the Stuart Lake in the south, highlight the intricate drainage network of this Delaware County terrain.
