About this map

Catskill Creek snakes through the borderlands of Albany and Greene Counties, anchoring a rural landscape of scattered hamlets and small school districts. This terrain is defined by its educational and spiritual centers, featuring numerous local landmarks like School No 14 in Preston Hollow and the Cheese Hill School situated below Cheese Hill. The mapping of small local burying grounds, such as Brookside Cem and Pratt Cem, provides a clear view of early settlement patterns in the valleys of Tenmile Creek and Eightmile Creek. Higher elevations like Mt Pisgah and Scott Patent Hill overlook a network of winding roads connecting older communities like Medusa and Oak Hill. The presence of Potter Hollow and Cooksburg along the waterway suggests a mid-20th-century economy still deeply rooted in these narrow valley corridors.
