About this map

The Hudson River dominates this corridor, serving as the topographical and historical divide between Greene and Columbia Counties. On the western bank, the village of Catskill serves as a focal point, while the eastern shore is defined by the significant architectural and landscape legacy of the Olana State Historic Site perched near Church Hill. The transportation network is anchored by the Rip Van Winkle Brg and the Hudson River Bridge, facilitating movement across the water near Rogers Island.

Further inland, the landscape transitions into a series of distinctive elevations such as the Becraft Hills and Blue Hill, interspersed with small rural hamlets like Linlithgo, Burden, and Livingston. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Cedar Park Cem and the Church of Nativity Cem. The presence of the Columbia County Courthouse and Greene County Courthouse underscores the civic importance of these riverfront settlements as they appeared in the early 21st century.
