About this map

Cobleskill serves as the focal point of this Schoharie County survey, captured during the mid-1940s with later updates. The landscape is defined by the valley of Cobleskill Creek, which supports a corridor of industry and education including the State University of New York Agricultural and Technical College at Cobleskill and the Delaware and Hudson railroad. To the east, the subterranean geography becomes prominent at Howes Cave and Secret Caverns, while the Klondike Quarry indicates the area's mineral extraction history.

Upland areas like Petersburg Mtn and Warnerville Hill overlook a network of rural hamlets such as Barnerville and Grovenor Corners. Genealogists will find a high density of small family burial grounds, including Lawyer Cem, Burnham Cem, and Chambers Cem. The transition from the fertile creek bottom to the State Reforestation Area in the south illustrates the area's diverse land use from agriculture to managed timber.
