About this map

The Cobleskill valley serves as a bustling hub of education and geology in this mid-century survey of Schoharie County. The presence of the State University of New York Agricultural and Technical College at Cobleskill grounds the local economy, while the limestone-rich topography to the east reveals a subterranean landscape of tourist and scientific interest. This includes the famed Howe Caverns, Secret Caverns, and the settlement at Howes Cave.

Beyond the main valley, the terrain rises into family-named hills and hamlets such as Becker Corners, Grovenor Corners, and Carlisle Center. Rural life is marked by numerous small burial grounds, including the Singerland Cem and Bradt Cem, and early industry like the Klondike Quarry. The southern portion of the map is defined by the steep slopes of Donats Mountain and Petersburg Mtn, which frame the Cobleskill Reservoir and the quiet reaches of Mineral Springs.
