  The 
  two 
  principal 
  

   streams 
  are 
  Esopus 
  creek 
  which 
  flows 
  southeasterly 
  across 
  the 
  

   northern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  county 
  till 
  near 
  Kingston 
  when 
  it 
  turns 
  

   northerly 
  for 
  several 
  miles, 
  finally 
  breaking 
  through 
  the 
  lime- 
  

   stone 
  ridge 
  near 
  Saugerties 
  where 
  it 
  enters 
  the 
  Hudson. 
  The 
  

   second 
  stream, 
  Kondout 
  creek, 
  flows 
  northeasterly 
  across 
  the 
  

   southeastern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  county 
  and 
  enters 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river 
  

   at 
  Kondout. 
  Farther 
  east 
  is 
  the 
  Walkill, 
  a 
  southern 
  tributary 
  

   of 
  the 
  Kondout, 
  and 
  between 
  these 
  two 
  valleys 
  is 
  the 
  precipitous 
  

   Shawangunk 
  mountain, 
  which 
  extends 
  southwesterly, 
  from 
  the 
  

   vicinity 
  of 
  Kosendale 
  across 
  this 
  and 
  Orange 
  co., 
  whence 
  it 
  

   may 
  be 
  traced 
  across 
  northwestern 
  New 
  Jersey 
  into 
  Pennsylvania 
  

   where 
  it 
  is 
  known 
  as 
  Kittatinny 
  mountain. 
  The 
  structure 
  of 
  the 
  

   Ulster 
  co. 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  mountain 
  has 
  been 
  well 
  described 
  by 
  

   Mr 
  N. 
  H. 
  Darton.

  and

  part 
  of 
  Ulster 
  to 
  Kingston 
  is 
  

   ssw; 
  where 
  the 
  direction 
  changes 
  to 
  sw 
  across 
  the 
  remaining 
  

   parts 
  of 
  Ulster, 
  Sullivan 
  and 
  Orange 
  counties 
  into 
  New 
  Jersey 
  

   and

  The 
  Hamilton, 
  Sherburne 
  and 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  

   Oneonta 
  formations, 
  or 
  Catskill 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  generally 
  called 
  in 
  this 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  state, 
  cross 
  in 
  Ulster 
  co. 
  the 
  townships 
  of 
  Saugerties, 
  

   Kingston, 
  Woodstock, 
  Hurley, 
  Olive, 
  Marbletown, 
  Rochester 
  and

  On 
  the 
  Geologic 
  map 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  formation 
  is 
  not 
  

   represented 
  any 
  farther 
  south 
  than 
  the 
  Palenville 
  region 
  along 
  

   the 
  Greene 
  and 
  Ulster 
  county 
  line, 
  the 
  lower 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  alter- 
  

   nating 
  red 
  and 
  gray 
  rocks 
  to 
  the 
  southwest 
  of 
  this 
  region 
  being 
  

   included 
  in 
  the 
  Catskill 
  formation. 
  Mr 
  Barton 
  has 
  said 
  " 
  I 
  have 
  

   not 
  traced 
  the 
  formations 
  [Oneonta 
  and 
  Chemung?] 
  farther 
  

   southward 
  than 
  Palenville 
  along 
  the

  front 
  of 
  the 
  Cats-

  there
