About this map

Catskill Creek winds through this Greene County landscape, connecting the historic communities of Cairo and Leeds. The terrain is defined by the elevation of Potic Mtn and the striking Cairo Round Top, while the lowlands are marked by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds. Genealogists can locate specific sites including the Waldron-Brandon Cem and Old Leeds Cem, which reflect the generations of settlement in this part of the Hudson Valley.

Modern infrastructure such as the Catskill Valley Airpark sits near older landmarks like the Lakes Mills Bridge, illustrating the shift from early industrial river crossings to mid-century aviation. The intricate drainage network, featuring the Jan De Bakkers Kill and Potic Creek, highlights the reliance on water power and irrigation that historically shaped small hamlets like Gayhead, Result, and South Cairo.
