About this map

Schoharie Creek winds through the eastern edge of this landscape, defining the borders where Montgomery, Schenectady, and Schoharie Counties meet. The village of Esperance serves as a primary hub in the southeast, situated near the Esperance Cem and the small landing at Gar Field. Moving northwest, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural hamlets including Sloansville, Dwelly Corners, and Oak Ridge, connected by a network of local routes like Oak Ridge Rd and Co Rd 162.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites and historic congregations, such as the First Baptist Church Cem near Charleston and the Kimball Cem further south. The map also captures specialized local landmarks including Hogan Airport and the seasonal waters of Youngs Lakes and Conover Pond. The geography reflects a quiet upland agricultural character, where small creeks like Fly Cr and Wilsey Cr cut through the hills before joining the larger Schoharie drainage.
