1943 Map of Charlotteville

About this map

Schenevus Creek and the Delaware and Hudson railroad define the northern corridor of this 1943 survey, where the settlements of Worcester and East Worcester serve as local hubs. This rural landscape at the intersection of Otsego, Schoharie, and Delaware counties is characterized by a dense network of district schools, reflecting a mid-century community structure rooted in small valley enclaves. From the Mud Lake Sch in the north to the Titus Hall Sch near Titus Lake in the south, these institutions appear alongside numerous family-named burial grounds like Strain Cem and Dugway Cem. The rugged topography, punctuated by Mountain Strain and Meade Hill, dictates the settlement patterns found at Charlotteville and South Worcester along the winding Charlotte Creek.
