About this map

Ellenville serves as the primary hub in this corner of the Catskills foothills, where the valley floor transitions into the heights of the Shawangunk Mountains. The village is dense with local history, from the Fantinekill Cem to the modern operations at the Joseph Y Resnick Airport. Following the southwest-northeast axis of the valley, the Delaware and Hudson Canal remains a visible historical scar on the landscape, running parallel to Sandburg Creek and passing through the settlements of Phillipsport and Spring Glen.

Water defines the topography here, with the Rondout Creek and Beer Kill converging near Napanoch. The terrain rises sharply to the east toward Bear Hill and Mount Meenahga, while the western uplands around Greenfield Park are dotted with wetlands like Cedar Swamp and Pine Swamp. This 2023 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns established by 19th-century transport and industry in the Sandburg Creek valley.
