1943 Map of Delhi

About this map

The village of Delhi sits at the confluence of the West Branch Delaware River and the Little Delaware River, serving as a central hub for education and transport in Delaware County. This mid-century survey highlights the institutional presence of the Delaware Academy and Central Sch and the State University of New York, alongside industrial markers like the Pine Grove Quarry. The New York Ontario and Western railroad tracks follow the river's path, tracing the valley floor beneath the steep rises of Federal Hill and Hollister Hill. Historic overland travel is marked by the Catskill Turnpike and the Old Catskill Turnpike, which cross the high ground near Mt Meredith. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Post Cem, Woodland Cem, and the Old Scotch Cem south of the main settlement.
