1903 Map of Gilboa

About this map

Schoharie Creek dominates this turn-of-the-century Catskills landscape, carved by deep kills and punctuated by significant elevation changes. At this time, Gilboa sits as a vital valley settlement years before the valley was flooded for reservoir construction, while Prattsville serves as a hub near the iconic Pratt Rocks. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrography, including the dramatic Manorkill Falls and Devasego Falls, which once drew visitors to these high-elevation valleys.
