About this map

Quaker Street and Delanson anchor the northern landscape of this 1940s survey, where the Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks parallel the course of the Normans Kill. The region is defined by a series of small, rural settlements and a dense network of district schoolhouses, such as School No 10 and School No 15, which served the scattered farming communities of Wright and Knox.

In the southern reaches, the waters of Fox Creek flow past Gallupville and West Berne, carving through the terrain near Zimmer Hill. This period of documentation captures a rural infrastructure still heavily reliant on local landmarks, including numerous burial grounds like Grove Cem and Barton Hill Cem, and local worship centers such as St Peters Chapel. The geography reveals a transition from the rail-centered commerce of the north to the more isolated, creek-valley hamlets to the south.
