1894 Map of Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Blackhead Mountains dominate the southern portion of this late 19th-century survey, forming a dramatic topographic boundary that dictates the settlement patterns of Greene County. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Thomas Cole and Black Dome down into the narrow valleys where communities like Big Hollow and Hensonville are situated. Watercourses such as the Batavia Kill and Catskill Creek serve as the primary corridors for development, with a dense network of small hamlets—including Preston Hollow, Cooksburg, and Oak Hill—spaced at regular intervals along these drainage basins.
