2008 Catskill Park State Land Master Plan
In August 2008, DEC finalized the revision of the Catskill Park State Land Master Plan. Prior to the plan's adoption, the Indian Head Wilderness Area was called the Indian Head-Plateau Mountain Wilderness Area. A unit management plan (UMP) for the Indian Head-Plateau Mountain Wilderness was completed in 1992.
