1943 Map of Charlotteville

About this map

East Worcester and Worcester anchor the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, positioned along the vital Delaware and Hudson railroad line. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Pine Hill and Meade Hill, which overlook the winding course of Charlotte Creek. This period in Otsego County history shows a well-established network of rural schoolhouses, such as Mud Lake Sch, Center Valley Sch, and Clapper Hollow Sch, reflecting a distributed community structure typical of the Catskills foothills before the era of centralisation. The map also records numerous family and community burial grounds, from Maple Grove Cem in the north to Titus Hill Cem near the southern border at Harpersfield. Settlement patterns follow the valleys, with hamlets like Charlotteville and South Worcester serving as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads and ridges.
