1946 Map of Kaaterskill

About this map

Mountain House stands as a sentinel over the dramatic elevation drops of the eastern escarpment, a focal point in a landscape defined by the deep gorges of the Catskill State Park. Compiled from 1943 aerial photography, this survey details the complex topography where the Kaaterskill Clove and Plattekill Clove cut through the high peaks. The settlement pattern follows these natural corridors, with Tannersville and Haines Falls established on the plateau, while Palenville sits at the base of the mountains.
