1903 Map of Gilboa

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

Schoharie Creek carves a deep valley through the Catskill transition, anchoring a network of nineteenth-century agricultural settlements and mountain hamlets. This 1901 survey documents the region before the massive engineering projects of the New York City water supply system significantly altered the landscape, particularly around Gilboa. The map reveals a rugged terrain of prominent peaks such as Huntersfield Mt and Cave Mountain, where local geography dictated the placement of roads and river-side villages like Prattsville and North Blenheim. Significant natural landmarks, including the dramatic Manorkill Falls and the locally famous Pratt Rocks, are clearly positioned along the primary waterways. For those researching family history in the towns of Conesville, Ashland, and Broome, the map identifies specific hollows and ridges, such as Patchin Hollow and Doney Hollow, that defined the boundaries of rural life.
