About this map

Mongaup River drainage systems define this Sullivan County landscape, where complex reservoirs and smaller ponds dictate the local geography. Settlements like Highland Lake and Mohican Lake are built around their respective water bodies, with the latter featuring a dense network of trail-named roads such as Minisink Trl and Oneida Trl. The area’s industrial and agricultural past is reflected in features like the Wickman Millpond and several reservoirs, including the Toronto Reservoir and Swinging Bridge Reservoir along the northern boundary.

Elevations rise toward Chapin Hill, overlooking a series of glacial lakes including Cliff Lake and Lebanon Lake. Small hamlets like Forestburg and Fowlerville serve as focal points for the road network, which transitions from state-maintained routes to private drives serving lakeside communities. The map provides a detailed view of these water-centric developments before further modern expansion, showing the proximity of Lake DeVenoge and Boyds Pond to established residential clusters.
