About this map

Swan Lake and the surrounding resort landscape of Sullivan County dominate this 2016 survey, reflecting a region defined by its water bodies and high-elevation settlements. The map highlights the western outskirts of Liberty, where the terrain rises toward Walnut Mtn and Revonah Hill. This area is characterized by a high density of named water features, including Lenape Lake, Lake Marie, and Denman Lake, which historically served as hubs for seasonal recreation.

Genealogical interest is found in several established burial grounds, such as the Old Baptist Church Cem near Parksville and the White Sulphur Springs Cem. These sites, along with smaller hamlets like Loomis and Shandelee, provide a record of the community's rural foundations. The drainage patterns of the Little Beaver Kill and various brooks like Cattail Brook and Horseshoe Brook illustrate the complex hydrography that shaped local road placement and land use across this part of the Catskill foothills.
