2013 Map of Gilboa

About this map

Schoharie Cr carves a deep path through this landscape, flanked by the high elevations of Blenheim Mountain and Stevens Mountain. The 2013 geography is dominated by the Blenheim Gilboa Reservoir, which reshapes the terrain between North Blenheim and Gilboa. Historical remnants are preserved in the numerous family burial grounds scattered across the hills, including the Hager Cem and Shafer Cem near the northern boundary. The importance of local water power and recreation is evident at Mine Kill Falls and Manorkill Falls, while the Blenheim Covered Bridge stands as a landmark of earlier engineering near the post office. Small hamlets like Owlsville and West Conesville anchor the secondary roads, maintaining a rural settlement pattern that follows the winding valleys of the West Kill and Platter Kill.
