1946 Map of Harpersfield

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Harpersfield and the surrounding townships of Kortright, Jefferson, and Stamford are depicted here just after the second World War, showing a landscape defined by dairy agriculture and high-elevation valleys. The Catskill Turnpike serves as a primary east-west artery through the map, connecting hamlets like West Harpersfield and North Kortright. The topography is a dense network of high points, including Titus Hill, Gunhouse Hill, and Peters Hill, which hem in narrow agricultural corridors. Local rural infrastructure is well-preserved in this record, featuring distributed landmarks like School No 5 and School No 6. To the southeast, the West Branch Delaware River flows near Stamford and Hobart, where the elevation begins to drop towards the river's wider valley. This survey provides a clear view of the Schoharie and Delaware County boundary during an era of stable, established rural life before modern development altered these traditional transport routes.
