2019 Map of Hartwood

About this map

The Neversink River carves a deep valley through the eastern edge of this Sullivan County landscape, dropping past High Falls and Denton Falls toward Oakland Valley. The terrain is defined by a dense network of upland water bodies, ranging from the developed shores of Sackett Lake and Melody Lake to the more secluded Panther Pond and Crane Pond. This 2019 survey shows the transition from clustered settlements like Forestburg and Saint Josephs to the private enclaves and recreation-focused tracts of Merriewold Park and the Hartwood Club. Local history is anchored by the Saint Thomas Aquinas Cem and Forestburg Cem, while the winding courses of Bush Kill and Eden Brook connect the varied topography. The map illustrates a late 20th-century pattern of residential pockets and seasonal retreats set within a heavily wooded, water-rich corridor of the Catskill foothills.
