2010 Map of Yankee Lake

About this map

Rock Hill and the surrounding lake communities define this Catskill-fringe landscape at the opening of the 21st century. The map detail reflects a region historically shaped by resort life and seasonal residents, where water bodies like Wanaksink Lake, Lake Louise Marie, and Mastens Lake are clustered with dense road networks and small settlement cores. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Shawangunk Mountains and the broad valley of the Basher Kill. This transition from the upland lake plateau to the river valley is marked by rural outposts such as Culvertown and Haven. Significant for local history researchers, the map identifies the Belle Terre Cemetery near Westbrookville, alongside the winding course of the Pine Kill. The infrastructure of the era is anchored by major corridors like Co Rd 172 and Wurtsboro Mountain Rd, which connect these historically distinct lakeside enclaves.
