About this map

The East Branch Delaware River flows through the southern reaches of this landscape, feeding into the expansive Pepacton Reservoir near Dunraven. This area is defined by its deep hollows and high peaks, with Margaretville serving as a focal point for the river valley. The map reveals a network of rural settlements like New Kingston and Winter Hollow, where the terrain transitions from the elevations of Mt Pisgah and Pakatakan Mtn down to the creek beds of the Platte Kill.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed locations of family-named burial grounds, including the New Kingston Valley Cem, Achibald Cem, Sanford Cem, and Van Benschoten Cem. The map's layout of many hollows—such as Canada Hollow, Palmer Hollow, and Bragg Hollow—illustrates the historical settlement patterns of Delaware County, where roads like Coulter Brook Rd and New Kingston Rd follow the natural contours of the Catskill Mountains.
