About this map

Ellenville serves as the central hub for this 2016 survey, situated at the base of the Shawangunk Mountains where the Sandburg Creek and Fantine Kill converge. The landscape is defined by the valley corridor running southwest to northeast, following the path of the historic Delaware and Hudson Canal. This transit-oriented layout is reinforced by the presence of the Joseph Y Resnick Airport and the concentration of settlements including Spring Glen and Phillipsport along the valley floor.

Upland areas are marked by significant terrain features like Bear Hill and Mt Meenahga, while local genealogy is represented by the Poplar Grove Cem and Fantine Cem. The mapping shows a complex network of water bodies, from the Leuren Kill to upland wetlands like Cedar Swamp and Pine Swamp, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the early industrial and agricultural development of these Ulster and Sullivan County communities.
