1943 Map of Peekamoose Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The high peaks of the Catskills dominate this 1943 survey, which documents a landscape defined by steep ridges and isolated valley settlements in the heart of Ulster County. Tiny clusters of development like Denning and Sundown are linked by winding roads that follow the drainage patterns of the West Branch Neversink Creek and East Branch Neversink Creek. The area’s educational network is still visible through localized schoolhouses such as Denning Sch, Red Hill Sch, and Greenville Sch, serving a community tucked between massive formations like Peekamoose Mtn and Slide Mountain. Significant topographic features including Table Mountain and Rocky Mountain hem in the headwaters of Rondout Creek, while a Lookout Tower on the northern edge provides a vantage point over the Shandaken and Denning township borders during the early 1940s.
