2019 Map of Mohonk Lake

About this map

Rondout Creek and its many tributaries, including the Stony Kill, Sanders Kill, and Rochester Cr, define the valley floor in this region of Ulster County. The landscape is characterized by a series of long-established hamlets like Kripplebush, Stone Ridge, and Accord, which are connected by historic routes such as Old Kings Hwy and the remnants of The Tow Path. This 2019 survey documents the transition from the agricultural lowlands near Sheeley's Farm Airport to the dramatic elevations of the Shawangunk Mountains. At the southern edge, the terrain rises sharply toward Eagle Cliff and Mohonk Lake, where specialized paths like the Overcliff Carriage Trail and Undercliff Carriage Trail navigate the steep slopes. Local history is well-preserved in the numerous burial grounds, such as the Rochester Reformed Church Cem and the High Falls Cem, providing a detailed record of the area's families and community centers.
