PHYSICAL MAP
Ulster County Topographic Map
Ulster has some of the wildest topography in the state. The Catskill Mountains dominate the west and center. Sharp peaks, narrow valleys, and deep hollows fill the map. The Hudson River flattens the eastern edge, but elsewhere, elevation rules.
TRANSPORTATION MAP
Ulster County Road Map
I-87 (New York State Thruway) runs straight up the eastern side. Whereas US-209 slices diagonally through the mountains. Though a few roads are wide and fast, many others climb slowly through steep terrain. Don’t expect straight lines through the Catskills. Use our zoom tool to follow all the major routes in Ulster County.
SATELLITE IMAGERY
Ulster County Satellite Map
Forests blanket much of the county, especially in the Catskills. The Ashokan Reservoir is a wide, dark oval near the center. Small towns like Kingston and New Paltz appear as gray clusters along the Hudson. But most of the view is trees. Dense, dark green, and stretching for miles.
