About this map

The West Branch Delaware River carves through this early twentieth-century landscape, serving as a primary corridor for both the Ulster and Delaware railroad and a string of mountain valley settlements. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Utsayantha Mt. and the Moresville Range, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure and agriculture. At the center of the sheet, Stamford and Hobart emerge as key hubs, while smaller rural junctions like Hubbell Corners and Meeker Hollow Center reflect the era's dispersed upland communities.

Local water sources including Odell Lake, Utsayantha Lake, and the Stamford Reservoir highlight the region's resource management at the time. Further south, the map documents the upper reaches of the Little Delaware River and the settlement of Roxbury, providing a detailed look at the Catskill foothills before later development. The labeling of individual peaks such as Old Clump Hill and Irish Mt. offers specific coordinates for genealogists tracing family land holdings in these high-elevation townships.
