About this map

Shawangunk Mountains define the western landscape of this Ulster County quadrangle, rising toward Millbrook Mountain and the distinctive overlook of Gertrudes Nose. This area preserves a legacy of 19th-century recreation centered on Lake Minnewaska, while the valley floor below transitions into a dense network of farming hamlets and historic crossroads. The Wallkill River and Shawangunk Kill meander through the central lowlands, providing the geographical focus for early settlements like Bruynswick and Tuthilltown.

Infrastructure for New York's water supply system is a dominant modern feature, with the paths of both the Catskill Aqueduct and Delaware Aqueduct cutting across the terrain. For those tracing family history, several small burial grounds are documented, including the Bruynswick Rural Cem and Dubois Cem. The map also captures the local aviation history at Kobelt Airport and the concentrated rural community at Wallkill Camp and Gardiner.
