Description:

We created a streams map in our GIS that was based on field observations and interpretation of topographic maps and aerial photographs. We depicted streams as continuous where they flowed through ponds, impoundments, or large wetlands. We mapped the likely location of streams that are diverted underground only when they re-surfaced at a distance of less than 200 meters (650 ft). The courses of many small headwater streams we observed in the field were difficult to map based on aerial photographs and other remote sources, especially under conifers; when not visible remotely, we mapped them to the best of our ability based on locations and bearings taken in the field and GIS contour data. We expect there were additional intermittent streams that we did not map, and we recommend these be added to the database as information becomes available. Because it was often difficult to distinguish between perennial and intermittent streams based on aerial photograph and map interpretation, these distinctions were made using our best judgment. Streams that were channelized or diverted by humans (i.e., ditches) were mapped when observed in the field or on aerial photos; we included ditches as stream habitat because they function as such from a hydrological perspective.

The Town of Woodstock Town Board and Planning Board provided valuable support and assistance. Special thanks to Mark Peritz for initiating the project and providing assistance throughout, Spider Barbour for sharing his knowledge of habitats and rare species occurrences throughout the town and for documenting the flora of Yankeetown Pond, Michael Kudish for accompanying us in the field and sharing his in-depth knowledge of Catskill forests and field notes taken in and near Woodstock, Dave Holden for helping to guide us to several remote areas of the town and sharing local history, Will Nixon and Hera for accompanying us in the field and sharing their observations, and John Winter, Kevin Smith, Pia Davis, and Sara Henry for assistance contacting landowners. We also thank the New York Natural Heritage Program, New YorkState GIS Clearinghouse, New York City Department of Environmental Protection, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Ulster County Information Services for providing GIS data. We are grateful to the following Hudsonia staff for their assistance: Kristen Bell Travis edited the map, report, and report figures, Erik Kiviat reviewed the report and provided habitat information, and Kathleen Schmidt, Hudsonia’s scientific illustrator, created the drawings that appear throughout this report. Finally, we would like to sincerely thank the following who own land, reside, and/or work in Woodstock and nearby areas, and who graciously allowed us access to lands for field work or provided other valuable information: Mamoon Aldulaimi Richard and Francesca Husted Ametek Rotron, Inc.
