2019 Map of Kingston West

About this map

Kingston and the surrounding Ulster County landscape appear here in detail, defined by the winding course of Esopus Creek and the southern reaches of the Ashokan Reservoir West Basin. The map captures the transition from the city's suburban edges into the rural hamlets of Hurley, Bloomington, and Eddyville. Local genealogy and land-use history are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Wiltwyck Cem and Saint Peters Cem, along with the Lefever Cem near Whiteport. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges like Jockey Hill and Gallis Hill, while recreational networks are visible through the complex of trails around Onteora Lake, such as the Onteora Lake - Red Trail. This study of the area also highlights the industrial and transport history along Rondout Creek and the smaller settlements like Stony Hollow that once served the upland corridors west of the Hudson Valley.
