About this map

The Forge Covered Bridge spans Dry Brook in this 2010 depiction of the high Catskills, where narrow valleys and steep ridges dictate the pattern of settlement. Remote hamlets like Seager, Mapledale, and Belle Ayr are tucked into the hollows, connected by winding mountain routes such as Todd Mountain Rd and Rider Hollow Rd. This landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of Dry Brook Ridge and the Beaver Kill Range, which shelter numerous secluded water bodies including Furlough Lake, Tunis Pond, and Balsam Lake.

Genealogical interest is found in the high-elevation Baker Cemetery and Lake Hill Cemetery, situated near the headwaters of Todd Brook. The map reveals a complex network of named geographical features, from the deep Mine Hollow and Cold Springs Hollow to prominent peaks like Graham Mountain and Doubletop Mountain. This survey serves as a detailed record of the drainage systems for the Beaver Kill and its many tributaries, such as Gulf of Mexico Brook and Flatiron Brook.
