About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains dominate the western portion of this landscape, rising steeply toward high points like Millbrook Mtn and the distinctive promontory of Gertrudes Nose. This area is preserved as a recreational corridor, featuring the Lake Minnewaska settlement and an intricate network of carriage paths including the Overclift Carriage Trail and Undercliff Carriage Trail. The terrain transitions abruptly from these rocky heights into the agricultural valley of the Wallkill River and Shawangunk Kill, where local life is centered around historic crossroads.

Small communities like Tuthilltown, Ireland Corners, and Bruynswick are scattered across the lowlands, connected by routes such as Albany Post Rd. Genealogists and historians can identify several burial grounds, including Bruynswick Rural Cem and New Hurley Cem, alongside landmarks of local transit and industry like the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and Kobelt Airport. The map also preserves the location of the old Guilford Schoolhouse Rd, reflecting the rural educational foundations of this part of Ulster County.
