1904 Map of Hobart

About this map

The West Branch Delaware River carves a deep valley through this corner of the Catskill Mountains, dictating the development of the primary rail and road corridors during the early twentieth century. The Ulster and Delaware railroad serves as the region's industrial spine, connecting the high-altitude villages of Stamford and Hobart with rural depots like South Gilboa Sta and Grand Gorge Sta. These transport links facilitated the dairy and agriculture economies of local townships including Harpersfield and Roxbury.
