1997 Map of Peekamoose Mtn

About this map

Catskill State Park dominates this terrain, characterized by the convergence of the West Branch Neversink River and the East Branch Neversink River near Denning. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevations, including the high peaks of Peekamoose Mtn, Table Mtn, and Slide Mtn. Small hamlets like Sundown and Greenville are situated along the lower valleys of Rondout Creek and the Vernoy Kill, demonstrating the historic pattern of settling near permanent water sources and manageable road access. The presence of several state forest preserves, such as Denning State Forest Preserve and Neversink State Forest Preserve, highlights the long-standing commitment to wilderness protection in this region. Local landmarks like Peekamoose Lake and the Buttermilk Falls Brook offer specific points of interest for those tracing the geographic history of these protected lands.
