About this map

The W Br Delaware River carves a deep valley through the high ridges of Delaware County, anchoring the settlements of Colchester and Hawleys. This 2013 topographic study illustrates a landscape where narrow valleys, or hollows, dictate the pattern of human habitation and transit. Locations such as Marvin Hollow, Oxbow Hollow, and Feak Hollow contain a mix of traditional agriculture and private estates, including the Dunk Hill Farm, Lovey Day Farm, and the Rocking L Ranch.

Genealogists can identify several local burial grounds, such as the Archer Cem and Feak Hollow Jamieson Cem, which remain tied to these namesake drainages. The surrounding peaks, notably Mount Holly, Starkweather Hill, and the extensive Bear Spring Mountain to the west, loom over a network of winding county routes like Co Hwy 21 and Co Rte 22 that follow the natural breaks in the Catskill terrain.
