  There

  and 
  Wall- 
  

   kill 
  river, 
  but 
  none 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  at 
  present 
  important 
  as 
  power 
  

   streams, 
  although 
  some 
  have 
  been 
  considered

  water 
  supplies 
  

   for

  City 
  of

  Esopus 
  creek. 
  The 
  source 
  of 
  Esopus 
  creek 
  is 
  in 
  Winnissook 
  

   lake 
  on 
  the 
  northwestern 
  slope 
  of 
  Slide 
  mountain. 
  From 
  Big 
  

   Indian 
  to 
  Olive 
  Bridge 
  the 
  stream 
  flows 
  through 
  a 
  valley 
  with 
  

   timber-covered 
  mountains 
  on 
  either 
  side. 
  A 
  number 
  of 
  sites 
  for 
  

   storage 
  reservoirs 
  are 
  offered 
  at 
  points 
  where 
  the 
  valley 
  broadens 
  

   out 
  to 
  receive 
  the 
  inflowing 
  water 
  of 
  tributaries. 
  Some 
  of 
  these 
  

   are 
  at 
  Big 
  Indian, 
  where 
  Birch 
  creek 
  enters; 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  

   Bush 
  kill 
  at 
  Shandaken; 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  Stony 
  Glove 
  creek 
  at 
  

   Phoenicia 
  ; 
  at 
  Cold 
  Brook 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  Little 
  Beaver 
  kill, 
  

   and 
  at 
  Olive 
  Bridge. 
  

  

  The 
  descent 
  of 
  the 
  stream 
  is 
  rapid, 
  although 
  not 
  precipitous 
  

   above 
  Olive 
  Bridge. 
  At 
  this 
  point 
  the 
  stream 
  flows 
  over 
  a 
  rocky 
  

   ledge, 
  22 
  feet 
  in 
  hight, 
  forming 
  Bishops 
  falls. 
  Below 
  Bishops 
  

   falls 
  the 
  stream 
  flows 
  through 
  a 
  narrow 
  gorge 
  for 
  some 
  distance,
