1944 Map of Gallupville

About this map

Gallupville and the winding course of Fox Creek anchor this 1944 survey of the borderlands between Schenectady, Albany, and Schoharie Counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of district schools and rural crossroads, where the Delaware and Hudson railroad cuts through the northern reach near Delanson and Quaker Street. These rail-connected settlements contrast with the agricultural character of the southern hills, where family-named landmarks like Zimmer Hill and the Zimmer Cem reflect generations of local settlement. Along the valley floor, the villages of West Berne and Berne follow the path of Beaverdam Creek, illustrating a classic mid-century upstate New York pattern of small-scale industry and community life centered on reliable water power and fertile creek bottoms.
