About this map

The East Branch Delaware River flows through the southeastern portion of this landscape, supporting the established village of Margaretville and the nearby hamlet of Dunraven. The topography is defined by a series of steep hollows and ridges, including Canada Hollow, Weaver Hollow, and Bragg Hollow, which have historically shaped the local road networks and agricultural patterns. To the north, the settlement of New Kingston sits amidst several smaller valleys, where family-named landmarks like Thompson Hollow and Sanford Hollow persist.

Genealogists can trace several burial grounds across the terrain, including Achibald Cem, New Kingston Cem, and Van Benschoten Cem. The southwestern corner is dominated by the reach of the Pepacton Reservoir, while the eastern boundary is marked by the high elevations of Pakatakan Mountain and Dry Brook Ridge. Numerous small watercourses, such as Tremper Kill and Platte Kill, drain these Catskill slopes toward the primary river valley.
