1946 Map of Kaaterskill

About this map

The dramatic vertical relief of Catskill Park dominates this topography, centered on the deep gorge of Kaaterskill Clove. This landscape is defined by its steep elevations and notable water features, from the high descent of Kaaterskill Falls to the alpine character of North Lake and South Lake. The settlement patterns here follow the natural contours, with towns like Tannersville and Haines Falls situated on the higher plateaus, while Palenville sits at the foot of the mountains where Kaaterskill Creek emerges from the ravine.
