Catskill Park Elevation
This interactive map shows the elevation of the Catskill Park, broken up into 500 foot intervals. The Catskill Park ranges from a portion near Kingston that is less then 500 feet above sea level to the high peaks region where a few weeks exceed 4,000 feet.
Data Source: Digital Elevation Models created by NYSDOT, converted to ranges using Reclassify by Table, then Polygonize Tool, then simplified using v.generalize.
Eastern Catskill Mountains
Continuing my exploration of terrain using digital elevation models, today we look at the Catskill Escarpment and the Hudson River.
Long Path Intersections with Roads
One of the challenges is to find places where the Long Path leaves the public roads. Using OpenStreetMap data I created a line intersection of the Long Path against public roads, then with some hand editing made sure only to include off-road trail sections when they meet public roads. Then I ran it against the state's reverse geocoding service to add street addresses so you can use it with your phone or car GPS.
