2019 Map of Kerhonkson

About this map

Rondout Creek carves a central path through this section of Ulster County, anchoring a valley where the historic hamlets of Kerhonkson and Wawarsing reside. The landscape is defined by the convergence of numerous waterways, including Vernoooy Kill and Rochester Cr, which historically powered local industries before the region transitioned toward its modern residential and recreational character. To the north, the terrain rises into the foothills, where smaller settlements like Cherrytown, Tabasco, and Mombaccus are linked by a dense network of mountain roads such as Samsonville-Kerhonkson Rd. Cultural and community markers are well-preserved, including the Rochester Center Cem and the Pine Bush Cem. Near Lyon Lake, a series of distinct trail or terrain labels like Chupacabra and Galloping Gert suggest a modern layer of recreational use overlaying the older agricultural and woodland footprints.
