About this map

Kerhonkson serves as a primary hub in this Ulster County landscape, situated where the Rondout Cr meets the tributary waters of Mine Hole Brook. The map reveals a high concentration of agricultural and specialized land uses, including Sugarbrook Maple Farm, One Earth Farm, and the Catskill Native Nursery. These local names, alongside family-identified holdings like Frank Utter Colony Farm and Kelder's Farm, underscore a region defined by its rural heritage and active farmsteads.

Water shapes the topography and settlement patterns throughout the quadrangle. From Vernooy Falls in the northwest to the Kerhonkson Reservoir in the south, the terrain is partitioned by numerous kills and brooks. Established hamlets such as Mombaccus, Pataukunk, and Cherrytown are connected by a network of historic roads, while the local Pine Bush Cem and the Po in Kerhonkson provide essential points of interest for genealogists and local historians researching this part of the Hudson Valley hinterland.
