About this map

Hunter and Tannersville serve as the primary valley settlements in this high-altitude corridor of the Catskill Park. The map documents a landscape defined by sharp transitions from village centers to steep summits like Hunter Mtn and Plateau Mountain. Cultural life is marked by several country churches, including St Marys Ch and St Francis De Sales Ch, along with the seasonal legacy of Stony Grove Camp and Camp Mayfair.

A notable geographic feature is the Stony Clove Notch, a narrow pass where an Old Railroad Grade and Stony Clove Creek descend through the mountains. This corridor, including the site of the Devils Tombstone, highlights the region's long history as both a recreational destination and a challenging transit route. The presence of a Ski Area and the Onteora Park golf course illustrate the area's mid-century evolution into a year-round resort hub while maintaining its older residential clusters like East Jewett.
