About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains dominate this landscape, rising sharply between the Rondout Creek valley and the rolling terrain to the southeast. The area centers on the town of Napanoch and the village of Ellenville, where local infrastructure like the Joseph Y Resnick Airport meets the older corridors of Plank Rd and Old Rte 209. A complex network of water management is visible via the Delaware Aqueduct, which cuts across the northern terrain near Kerhonkson.

High-altitude water bodies such as Lake Awosting and Lake Maratanza sit perched above the cliffs of Sams Point and Litchfield Ledge. The map traces numerous named waterways, including the Verkeerder Kill and the Shawangunk Kill, which define the drainage patterns for settlements like Walker Valley, Dwaarkill, and Red Mills. These features illustrate the enduring relationship between the steep mountain ridge and the agricultural and residential pockets in the lowlands.
