2019 Map of Willowemoc

About this map

Willowemoc Creek and its many tributaries carve through the mountainous terrain at the border of Ulster and Sullivan counties. This part of the Catskills is defined by high peaks like Mongaup Mtn and Slawson Mtn, interspersed with a high density of glacial ponds and hollows. Small settlements including Willowemoc, Debruce, and Anderson are clustered along the valley floors, connected by a network of winding mountain roads like Brown Settlement Rd and Flugertown Rd. The landscape is a mix of protected wild lands and private holdings, indicated by the presence of a Camp Ground near Hunter Pond and numerous named water bodies such as Mongaup Pond, Hodge Pond, and Frick Pond. The drainage patterns, including the Beaver Kill and Little Beaver Kill, illustrate the region's historical importance for freshwater ecosystems and watershed management.
