About this map

Delhi serves as the focal point of this Delaware County landscape, situated where the Ontario and Western RR meets the West Branch Delaware River. The map reveals a region defined by its deep valley corridors and high ridges, including Bramley Mtn and Irish Hill. To the north, the Ulster and Delaware RR follows the winding path of Charlotte Creek, connecting various hamlets such as Davenport and West Davenport.

Genealogists can trace the early 20th-century distribution of small communities like Meredith, Kortright, and Bovina Center. The placement of Elk Creek Church and the specific locations of railroad depots like Kortright Sta illustrate the rural infrastructure of the era. Numerous hollows, such as Prosser Hollow and Houghtaling Hollow, show the dispersed nature of settlement across this complex Catskill-fringe terrain.
