Thomas Cole Mountain is a peak in Greene County, New York, in the Catskills and part of the Blackhead Range within Catskill Park. It is the fourth highest summit in the broader Catskill Mountains. Named for painter Thomas Cole, who lived in the area from 1801 to 1848 and is widely regarded as the founder of the Hudson River School, the mountain reflects the landscape that made the Catskills a lasting subject in American art. Along the range it stands between Black Dome to the east and Camel's Hump to the west, and its slopes drain into the Schoharie Creek watershed through East Kill and Batavia Kill.
