1905 Map of Slide Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1908

About this map

Slide Mountain and the high peaks of the Catskills dominate this early twentieth-century survey, revealing a landscape of steep timbered slopes and narrow valleys before modern reservoir expansion. The terrain is marked by remote outposts like Peekamoose Lodge and high elevation points such as Lone Mountain and Balsam Cap. Along the northern edge, the Ulster and Delaware RR follows the Esopus Creek through Boiceville, while the southern reaches show the New York Ontario and Western RR connecting Wawarsing and Kerhonkson. Small agricultural and milling hamlets like Lackawack, Sundown, and Mombaccus are tucked into the drainages of the Rondout Creek and Vernoy Creek, providing a detailed look at the rural Catskill economy before the mid-century transformation of the region's water systems.
