About this map

The East Branch Delaware River carves a significant corridor through this corner of Delaware County, defining the settlement patterns of towns like Beerston and Rock Rift. This landscape is dominated by steep summits such as Tower Mtn, Houck Mtn, and Rock Rift Mtn, which separate the various brook-fed hollows. In these valleys, small communities and family-named routes like Faulkner Rd and Wakeman Brook Rd speak to the area’s agricultural and residential development.

Local history is preserved at the Read Creek Cem near Read Creek, a central landmark for those tracing family roots in this rural terrain. To the south and west, the map details the upland areas around Kerryville and Apex, where the topography is punctuated by water bodies such as Perkins Pond, Merrick Pond, and Beaver Meadow Pond. The layout of local roads, including Tar Hollow Rd and Dry Brook Rd, illustrates how transportation historically followed the natural drainage of the Catskill foothills.
