About this map

Phoenicia sits at the confluence of Esopus Cr and Stony Clove Cr, serving as a central hub in a landscape defined by dramatic mountain passes and river valleys. The 2013 survey illustrates the dense concentration of hamlets along the waterways, from Chichester and Allaben in the north to Boiceville and Cold Brook near the southern boundary. These settlements are linked by the winding path of Old Route 28 and the modern highway, which follow the natural contours of the terrain created by Sheridan Mountain and Tremper Mountain.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the valley, including Shandaken Rural Cem near Broadstreet Hollow and Van Kleeck Cem further south. The map details the transition from the secluded elevations of Woodland Valley and Cross Mountain Hollow to the more developed corridors near Mount Tremper. Notable peaks such as Wittenberg Mountain and Cornell Mountain anchor the southwestern corner, illustrating the high-relief character of the Catskill region.
