About this map

Catskill sits at the confluence of the Hudson River and Catskill Creek, serving as a focal point for this survey of Columbia and Greene Counties. The landscape is defined by its deep historical roots, notably the Olana State Historic Site perched overlooking the river valley. The eastern shore is characterized by a mix of agricultural legacies and institutional development, from Smith Farms and Fix Brothers Farm to the Columbia-Greene Community College campus.

Transport and maritime history are prominent along the river's edge, marked by the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, the Hamburg Light, and several riverfront docks including Washburn Dock and Burden Dock. Inland, the map documents numerous rural burial grounds and hamlets such as Linlithgo, Burden, and Livingston. The complex drainage of the Roeliff Jansen Kill and Klein Kill illustrates the varied topography leading toward the Becraft Hills and Mount Merino, reflecting centuries of settlement and land use.
