About this map

Catskill State Park dominates the northwestern highlands of this region, where the Ashokan Reservoir meets the rugged slopes of Morgan Hill. In the valley below, the city of Kingston serves as a dense urban core, its mid-1960s footprint defined by a mix of civic landmarks like the Municipal Stadium and County Hospital alongside older religious and commemorative sites, including Old Dutch Cem and St Marys Cem.

Transport patterns show a landscape in transition, where the New York State Thruway and New York Central Railroad corridor through the Esopus Creek valley link historic hamlets like Hurley and West Hurley with newer developments such as Rolling Meadows. The southern reaches of the map near the Rondout Creek reveal a cluster of lakes including Binnewater Third Lake and De Witt Lake, tucked between industrial features like a Quarry and the residential fringes of Bloomington and Eddyville.
