About this map

Kaaterskill Clove serves as the dramatic centerpiece of this Catskill region, where steep drainages and jagged mountain peaks define the settlement patterns. Higher elevations are marked by the notable settlements of Tannersville and Haines Falls, while the narrow gap of the clove leads down to Palenville and Manorville at the mountain's base. The area's celebrated topography is detailed through landmarks like Artists Rock and Stoppel Point, and the famous double-drop of Kaaterskill Falls.

Genealogists can find several family and village burial grounds, including Haines Falls Cem, Goodwin Cem, and Shoub Cem, while local historians can trace the network of old mountain routes such as Laurel House Rd and the Overlook-Turnpike Corridor. The map illustrates the convergence of major watercourses including Schoharie Creek and Plattekill Cr, which carve through deep features like Hillyer Ravine and the ominous Devils Kitchen.
