1903 Map of Gilboa

About this map

Schoharie Creek carves a deep valley through this Catskill mountain landscape, serving as the primary corridor for settlements like North Blenheim, Gilboa, and Prattsville at the start of the twentieth century. The map captures a mountain economy defined by its water power and high-altitude hamlets, featuring notable landmarks such as Manorkill Falls and Devasego Falls. In the southern reaches, Batavia Kill flows through Ashland and Red Falls, framed by the significant elevations of Windham High Peak and Bearpen Mt.
