2019 Map of Lewbeach

About this map

Pepacton Reservoir dominates the Catskill landscape in this northern corner of the Delaware River watershed. This modern topographic record reflects the complex hydrology created by the New York City water supply system, most notably where the Shavertown Bridge spans the reservoir. The topography is defined by high ridges like Mary Smith Hill and Perch Lake Mtn, which separate deep hollows and narrow valleys where smaller waterways like Holliday Brook and Barkaboom Stream descend. To the south, the settlement of Lewbeach sits near the junction of the Beaver Kill and Shin Cr, marking a historic gateway for anglers and travelers. The map traces a network of remote mountain roads, including the NYC Route 30A, which follow the contours of the shoreline and provide access to upland water bodies like Huggins Lake and Perch Lake.
