About this map

The Beaver Kill river valley anchors this portion of the Catskills, where the historic O And W Rd corridor and Co Hwy-17 follow the water's path through the mountains. Settlements like Horton, Peakville, and Elk Brook are tied to this central drainage, while smaller hamlets such as Rock Valley and Acidalia are situated further south along the network of mountain brooks. The map records several family and community burial sites, including the Rickard Cem and Gould Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this rural New York landscape.

Industrial and cultural landmarks appear across the ridges and valleys, from the Air Shaft Number 3 in the north to the Campbell Covered Bridge near Methol. The terrain is defined by numerous named hollows, such as Pork Island Hollow and Buck Hollow, reflecting a long history of local land naming. Notable water bodies like Deer Lake and Basket Lake dot the southern highlands, while agricultural sites like Andersens Maple Farm showcase the region's enduring rural character.
