About this map

Shandaken and the surrounding hamlets of the Catskill Mountains are defined by the deep valleys of Esopus Creek and its many tributaries. This 2016 survey traces the high-elevation settlements and wilderness areas from Pine Hill in the northwest to Allaben in the northeast. The geography is dominated by notable peaks such as Panther Mtn and Slide Mtn, with local landmarks like Hanging Birds Nest and Giant Ledge providing orientation for those traversing the heights.

The map details the drainage patterns of the W Br Neversink River and Woodland Cr, while documenting small residential pockets and access routes like Oliverea-Slide Mountain Rd. Historical land use is suggested by features such as Mine Hollow and Hatchery Hollow, alongside recreational and natural landmarks like Winnisook Lake and the various hollows that have shaped local community identity for generations.
