1945 Map of Carlisle

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The boundary between Montgomery Co Schoharie Co divides this 1940s landscape, where rural life is anchored by a dense network of district schools and family cemeteries. The southern portion is dominated by the historic Cherry Valley Turnpike running through Carlisle, while the northern hills are drained by Yatesville Creek and Flat Creek. Small agricultural crossroads like Rural Grove, Charleston Four Corners, and Lykers suggest a community of tightly-knit hamlets, each supported by its own infrastructure such as School No 11 and the Bratt School. The topography is marked by significant wetlands, including Bear Swamp and Little Bear Swamp, which shaped the road patterns and settlement sites. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked burial grounds, including the Friends Cem, Gove Cem, and Haight Cem, which are often the only remaining markers of the area's earliest families.
