1894 Map of Kaaterskill

USGS Topo · Published 1894

About this map

Tannersville and Hunter serve as central hubs in this late-nineteenth-century study, which captures the region during its peak era of mountain tourism. The landscape is defined by its early transit network, most notably the Otis Elevating RR. and the Stony Clove and Catskill Mtn. R.R., which funneled visitors to famous destinations like the Mountain House and Twilight Park. The geography is marked by dramatic elevation changes, with the Kaaterskill Falls and Kaaterskill Clove cutting through the terrain between the East Jewett Range and Plateau Mountain. Further south, the map reveals the layout of Woodstock and Bearsville long before they became global cultural icons, showing instead a quiet network of family-named settlements like Meads and smaller communities such as Dutch Settlement and Yankeetown. It is an essential record of the Catskills when rail was the primary artery for both industry and leisure.
