2023 Map of Breakabeen

About this map

Schoharie Creek dominates the valley floor, winding past the settlements of Fultonham and Breakabeen as it cuts through the highlands of Schoharie County. This area of central New York is characterized by its steep-walled hollows and ridges, including Towpath Mountain and Fulton Hill. The landscape preserves a record of 19th-century rural life through its distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as the Patria Cem and Ellis Cem, often situated near now-isolated hamlets like Patria and Vintonton. The presence of several small settlements including West Fulton and Watsonville suggests a historical reliance on the network of local creeks for early industry and transport, with Panther Creek and Keyser Kill draining the surrounding heights into the main Schoharie valley. The modern map also shows a developed network of recreation, featuring the Long Path Trl and various snowmobile corridors through Cole Hollow and over Rossman Hill.
