About this map

The East Branch Delaware River carves a deep valley through this portion of the Catskills, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and transit during the mid-1960s. Small riverside communities including Corbett, Gregorytown, and Harvard are connected by roads like Gregorytown Road and Aqueduct Road, reflecting the region's historical reliance on the waterway.

Upland areas are dominated by protected lands, specifically the Bear Spring Mountain Game Management Area and Catskill State Park, which preserve the steep, wooded terrain. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible through the Tub Mill near Downsville, several quarries, and a Downsville Airport landing strip. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several family and community burial grounds, such as Wilson Hollow Cem and Harvard Cem, tucked into the narrow hollows.
