2019 Map of Downsville

About this map

Downsville serves as the primary settlement on this Delaware County landscape, situated at the western end of the Pepacton Reservoir. The area is defined by the high elevations of the Catskill Mountains, including prominent peaks such as Sugarloaf Mtn, Campbell Mtn, and Brock Mtn. The local history of the valley is preserved at the Downsville Covered Bridge, which spans the East Branch Delaware River just downstream from the massive reservoir dam. Local genealogy is anchored at the Paige Cem and family-named landmarks like Gregory Hollow and Fuller Hill. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways such as Russell Brook and Campbell Brook, while high-altitude water bodies like Cables Lake and Edwards Pond dot the southern ridges. A network of mountain roads, including Horton Brook Rd and Cat Hollow Rd, provides access to the many cloves and hollows that characterize this part of New York.
