1946 Map of Hobart
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The West Branch Delaware River carves through the Catskill uplands of Delaware County, centering on the village of Hobart and the dairy-rich valleys of Kortright and Bovina. In the mid-1940s, the New York Central railroad remains a vital artery, tracing the river's edge through South Kortright toward the peak of Mt Bob. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high summits, including Lyon Mtn, Mt Warren, and Plattekill Mtn. Rural life is anchored by local institutions like South Kortright Central School and several numbered schoolhouses, while the topography dictates a network of winding passages such as Narrow Notch and Carmans Notch. The mapping reveals the proximity of family farms to prominent landmarks like Crescent Valley and Town Brook Valley, showing the tight-knit settlement pattern of these mountain townships before modern highway expansion shifted the region's character.
