2023 Map of Carlisle

About this map

Currytown and the surrounding rural landscapes of Montgomery and Schoharie counties are defined by a network of historic family properties and small hamlets. The map highlights a strong tradition of local heritage through its numerous burial sites, including the Haight Family Burial Ground and the Gove Cem, alongside institutional landmarks like the Currytown Reformed Church. This area maintains its agricultural character, with secondary roads connecting remote settlements such as Rural Grove, Root Center, and Lykers. The terrain shifts significantly toward the south, dominated by the prominent elevation of Corbin Hill. Hydrography also plays a key role in the local geography, with Yatesville Creek and Lasher Creek cutting through the valleys, while the wetlands of Little Bear Swamp and Bear Swamp occupy the low-lying reaches between the ridges. Small aviation facilities like The Ranch Airport and Russell Airport suggest the modern usage of these open rural spaces.
