About this map

Hensonville and Windham anchor a landscape defined by the high elevations of the eastern Catskill Mountains, where small settlements are tucked between prominent peaks and valley floors. The drainage of Batavia Kill and Cornwallville Cr dictates the local geography, connecting smaller communities like Brooksburg, Maplecrest, and Cornwallville. This 2019 survey documents a dense network of mountain trails, such as the Escarpment Trail and High Peak Rd, alongside modern recreational markers including Black Bear Hideout and Twin Oaks.

Family history is preserved through numerous burial sites, including the Peter Van Orden Rural Cem and the Mill Family Cem. The terrain rises sharply to Windham High Peak and the Blackhead Mountains, with notable gaps and notches such as Jennie Notch and Barlow Notch providing passage through the ridges. A legacy of local resource extraction is visible at the Gold Mine located near the Escarpment Trail.
