1903 Map of Gilboa

About this map

Schoharie Creek carves a deep valley through this northern Catskills landscape, serving as the central artery for a series of early twentieth-century mountain communities. The terrain is defined by high peaks and ridges such as Huntersfield Mt and Cave Mountain, which separate the drainage of the Batavia Kill from the northern reaches of the watershed. Notable natural landmarks like Manorkill Falls and Devasego Falls highlight the dramatic vertical relief of the region before the landscape was significantly altered by later water management projects.
