Catskill Mountains
The Catskill
Mountains (also known as simply the Catskills), a natural area in
New York State northwest of
New York City and southwest of
Albany are a mature
dissected plateau, an uplifted region that was subsequently eroded into sharp relief. They are an eastward continuation, and the highest representation, of the
Allegheny Plateau. They are sometimes considered an extension of the
Appalachian Mountains into
Upstate New York, although they are not geologically related. The Catskills are west of the
Hudson River and lie within the bounds of six counties (
Otsego,
Delaware,
Sullivan,
Schoharie,
Greene, and
Ulster).
