Image Catskill Mountain House Cropsey.jpg thumb 350px The Mountain House , 1836, by Jasper Francis Cropsey Natural history Early geologic history The Catskill Mountains Catskills began existence as a river delta 350 million years ago. Streams flowing off the then mighty Taconic Mountains deposited sediment where the river met a sea now the Allegheny Plateau . Eventually the Taconics eroded to their present size and the waters dried up, leaving a mostly flat plain. During this time period, a meteor is believed to have struck the area. Panther Mountain New York Panther Mountain is the remains of its Impact crater crater . Two hundred million years ago, as continental drift pushed up the Appalachians, the delta region rose almost uniformly into a plateau rather than breaking up into smaller mountains. Streams that formed over time eroded gaps and valleys, leaving today s mountains. The Ice Ages The next great change in the Catskill landscape was caused by the most recent of four periods of glaciation , the Wisconsin glaciation Wisconsin . Every mountain except Slide and perhaps West Kill Mountain West Kill was covered. The glaciers left behind lakes when they melted, some of which became reservoir water reservoirs in the 20th century.
