2016 Map of Napanoch

About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains dominate the central landscape of this survey, forming a dramatic elevation break between the Rondout Creek valley to the northwest and the lowland settlements of Pine Bush and Dwaarkill to the southeast. At the mountain's edge, Cragsmoor sits atop the ridge near notable landmarks like Sams Point and Indian Rock. This area is defined by its dramatic hydrology, featuring high-altitude water bodies like Lake Maratanza and Lake Awosting, along with spectacular drops such as Verkeerder Kill Falls. In the valleys, the transition from the industrial and residential centers of Napanoch and Ellenville to the agricultural reaches near Rutsonville is clearly visible. The map also documents transportation corridors like Plank Rd and regional infrastructure including the Joseph Y Resnick Airport, illustrating the modern balance of recreation and settlement in Ulster Co.
