2016 Map of Gilboa

About this map

Schoharie Creek dominates this region of the northern Catskills, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by significant water management and rural hamlets. The valley floor is marked by the Blenheim Gilboa Reservoir and the northern reaches of the Schoharie Reservoir, illustrating the area's role in regional utility and recreation through Mine Kill State Park. Historic infrastructure is represented by the Blenheim Covered Bridge near North Blenheim, while the surrounding slopes of Blenheim Mtn and Stevens Mtn are carved by dramatic water features like Mine Kill Falls and Manorkill Falls. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including the Knisker Cem, Clapper Cem, and Richtmyer Case Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and small settlements like Owlsville and West Conesville.
