1946 Map of Kaaterskill Clove

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Kaaterskill Clove serves as the dramatic centerpiece of this Catskills study, illustrating the precipitous drop from the high plateau settlements of Haines Falls and Twilight Park down to the lowland hamlet of Palenville. The map captures a landscape defined by verticality, where prominent summits like Roundtop Mtn and High Peak overlook a complex network of ravines, including Santa Cruz Ravine and Wildcat Ravine. Cultural landmarks such as the Mountain House and Artists Rock indicate the area's long-standing importance for recreation and early tourism. To the north, the terrain softens around Colgate Lake and North Lake, while the southern reaches follow the rugged descent of Plattekill Clove past the Platte Clove Ch. The drainage patterns of Kaaterskill Creek and Schoharie Creek provide a clear view of the eastern escarpment's role in directing the region's waters.
