About this map

Catskill Park dominates the northwest corner of this quadrangle, where the steep elevations of Overlook Mountain and Plattekill Mountain rise above the surrounding valleys. This mid-century survey, updated with late-1970s aerial revisions, illustrates the hydrologic infrastructure supporting nearby populations, specifically the Saugerties Reservoir and a tiered system including Kingston Reservoir No 2, Kingston Reservoir No 1, and Kingston Reservoir No 4.

The settlement pattern reflects a transition from high-elevation hollows like Lewis Hollow to clustered communities such as Woodstock and West Saugerties. Small rural institutions remain visible, including the Chestnut Hill Cem and several numbered schoolhouses like School No 15. The presence of the Golf Course and a Landing Strip south of High Woods suggests the area's mid-century evolution toward recreation and local aviation alongside its traditional mountain-valley orientation.
