About this map

Catskill State Park encompasses the majority of this mid-1940s landscape, where high peaks like Graham Mtn and Doubletop Mtn tower over deeply carved hollows. The settlement at Seager sits along the Dry Brook, while further north, Mapledale is marked by the Lake Hill Cem and a nearby Mill. The interior terrain is defined by the Hardenburgh Range and numerous water bodies, including Furlough Lake and Balsam Lake.

Information-gain insights are visible in the specific placement of isolated structures like School No 4 and the Balsam Lookout Tower atop Balsam Lake Mtn, highlighting the intersection of early forest management and rural education. The topography is split by several town boundaries, including Middletown, Shandaken, and Denning, while the Beaver Kill and its various branches, such as High Falls Brook, dictate the natural drainage patterns of this upland environment.
