About this map

Readburn and the small settlements of Beerston and Rock Rift are set against a landscape defined by the deep valleys and high summits of the Catskill Mountains. The West Branch Delaware River flows through the northern reaches of this area, partially contained by the Cannonsville Reservoir. This waterway is a central piece of regional infrastructure, linked to the West Delaware Aqueduct which passes beneath the terrain near Read Creek Cem.

Upland areas are marked by numerous family-named landmarks and water bodies, including Merrick Pond, Beaver Meadow Pond, and Perkins Pond. The geography is further articulated by steep drainages like Carcass Brook, Wakeman Brook, and Cadosia Creek. These features, alongside peaks like Tower Mountain and Rock Rift Mountain, illustrate a pattern of development where roads like NYC HWY 10 and Readburn Rd follow the natural contours of the river valleys and hollows.
