About this map

East Branch Delaware River winds through this Catskill mountain landscape, carving a valley defined by numerous eddies and islands. The riverside settlements of East Branch and Fishs Eddy serve as the primary hubs of the area, connected by the historical routing of Co Rd 17 and the proximity of Tylers Switch. This terrain is deeply etched by narrow hollows like Nancokus Hollow and Wheeler Hollow, illustrating the classic Appalachian drainage patterns that shaped local development and travel.

Further south, the geography shifts toward high ridges and isolated water bodies, including Somerset Lake and Sand Pond. The presence of the Partridge Island Cemetery and family-named features like Peas Eddy and Pea Brook offers significant value for genealogical research. Land use ranges from the recreational camps of Camp Pine Cone and Camp Deerhead to the marshy lowlands of Orleans Swamp and Black Ash Swamp.
