About this map

Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks cut across the northern landscape of Délanson and Quaker Street during this mid-1940s survey. The area is defined by its transition from the rolling highlands of Barton Hill and Zimmer Hill down into the productive valleys of Fox Creek and Normans Kill.

A network of numbered country schools, such as School No 19 and School No 8, serves the small hamlets of West Township and Gallupville, reflecting a decentralized rural education system still in place before post-war consolidation. The map records numerous family and community landmarks, including St Peters Chapel and several burial grounds like Barton Hill Cem and Grove Cem, which are invaluable for tracing the settlement patterns of the Schenectady, Schoharie, and Albany county borders.
