1903 Map of Gilboa

About this map

Schoharie Creek carves a deep path through this landscape, serving as the primary drainage for the surrounding northern Catskill plateaus. This 1901 survey reveals the region just before significant 20th-century hydrological changes, documenting the original locations of Gilboa and Prattsville along the river banks. The map highlights a series of dramatic water features, including Manorkill Falls and Devasego Falls, which once characterized the local topography.
