About this map

Cobleskill serves as the focal point of this Schoharie County survey, which was field-checked in 1943 during the wartime years. The village is anchored by the State Agricultural School and the Delaware Hudson railroad, which follows the winding course of Cobleskill Creek. To the east, the landscape is marked by unique geologic features like Howes Cave and the Secret Caverns, alongside industrial sites like the Klondike Quarry.

The surrounding rural townships, including Carlisle and Middleburgh, are dotted with family-named burial grounds such as Lawyer Cem, Burnham Cem, and Bradt Cem. High points like Petersburg Mtn and Donats Mountain overlook a network of valley roads and small school districts, including School No 2 and School No 5. The layout of the small settlements like Barnerville and Bramanville reflects a mid-century agricultural economy tied closely to the creek and rail corridor.
