2016 Map of Mohonk Lake

About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the historic hamlets and agricultural lands of central Ulster County. This 2016 survey traces the winding paths of Rondout Creek and the Peters Kill, showing how the landscape is segmented by these ancient waterways. Clusters of human history are visible in the numerous burial grounds like Benton-Bar Cem and Whitfield Cem, alongside prominent religious institutions such as the Rochester Reformed Church. The map details the modern footprint of the Ulster County Community College near Stone Ridge, contrasting with the more rural character of Kripplebush and Alligerville. From the geological interest of Pompey's Cave to the developed recreational areas near Mohonk Lake, the sheet captures a region defined by its conservation lands and persistent historic settlements.
