[[Image:New England Migration Routes.png|right|400px|New England Migration Routes.png]]The '''Catskill Road''', also known as the Ancram Turnpike, went westward from Springfield, Massachusetts toward the southwest corner of that state. It entered New York State near the town of Ancram and went thence northwest to the town of Catskill on the west bank of the Hudson River. From Catskill the highway was usually called the [[Catskill Turnpike]] and hugged the north edge of the Catskill Mountains running toward Unadilla (formerly Wattle's Ferry) on the Susquehanna River.<ref name="HBG">''Handybook for Genealogists: United States of America'', 9th ed.
