Mombaccus Mountain
Mombaccus Mountain is located in the Catskill Mountains of New York. To the south, it looms over the hamlet of Samsonville. Its north slope descends to Watson Hollow in the Olive hamlet of West Shokan. Mombaccus is, together with Little Rocky and South Mountain, part of a massif dominated by Ashokan High Point. Big Rosy Bone Knob, a lesser summit, lies southwest of Mombaccus Mountain. According to historian DeWitt Davis, Mombaccus was "noted for huckleberries and bears" and bear traps were dug on its slopes.[2]
