About this map

Rondout Reservoir dominates this landscape, its expansive waters flooding the valley where the Rondout Cr once flowed freely. The local geography is defined by the steep Kalonymus Escarpment to the west and East Mountain to the north, creating a dramatic backdrop for the scattered hamlets of Lackawack, Sholam, and Yagerville.

Evidence of the area's agricultural roots remains in named properties such as August Farm and Rusty Plough Farm, while the Furman Cem provides a point of interest for those researching local family lineages. Numerous waterways, including the Vernooy Kill, Brandy Brook, and Trout Cr, thread through the valleys, feeding into the reservoir or flowing toward Honk Lake in the southeast. The map details a transition from the elevated peaks of the Catskill foothills down to the residential clusters at Ulster Heights.
