2019 Map of Hunter

About this map

Hunter and Tannersville serve as the primary hubs for this high-elevation landscape, where deep valleys known as kills and notches dictate the path of human settlement. The map documents a dense network of local history, preserved in sites like the Latvian Memorial Park Cem and Evergreen Cem. Transportation and recreation are centered around the dramatic topography of Hunter Mtn and its Colonels Chair, while smaller communities like Elka Park and Onteora Park are situated near high peaks and protected reservoirs. Notable geological and cultural landmarks, such as the narrow Stony Clove Notch and the Devils Tombstone, illustrate the challenging terrain that shaped early passage through the region. Water resources are prominent, including the Tannersville Reservoirs, Schoharie Creek, and Lake Rip Van Winkle, which support the various villages tucked between the East Jewett Range and Plateau Mtn.
