About this map

The Wallkill River and Rondout Creek converge in this corner of Ulster County, shaping a landscape defined by water and narrow valleys. Significant hamlets like Rosendale, Tillson, and Rifton are centered around these waterways, which historically provided the power and transport for local industries. Notable historical landmarks include Perrine's Bridge crossing the Rondout and several established burial grounds such as Saint Peters Cemetery and the Rosendale Cemetery.

To the west, the Shawangunk Mountains rise sharply, featuring the prominent Bonticou Crag. This map captures the mid-2000s balance of residential clusters and open land, from the New Paltz Golf Course and Stanton Airport near New Paltz in the south, to smaller named locales like Binnewater and Cottekill in the north. The presence of Sturgeon Pool and the Swarte Kill further emphasizes the region's complex hydrology and its influence on settlement patterns.
