About this map

The town of Greenville serves as a central hub in this northern Greene County landscape, where the rolling Catskill foothills meet the Albany County boundary. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and historical hamlets, including South Westerlo, Norton Hill, and Medusa. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, locating numerous family and community burial grounds such as Westerlo Central Cemetery, Campbell Cemetery, and Stone Bridge Cemetery.

Water plays a critical role in the geography here, with the Basic Creek Reservoir in the northeast and the winding path of Catskill Creek in the southwest. The presence of smaller waterways like Jan De Bakkers Kill and Thorp Creek highlights the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement and local agriculture. This survey documents the modern layout of these established rural communities while preserving the locations of namesake landmarks like Lambs Corner.
