1945 Map of Hunter

About this map

Hunter and Tannersville serve as the primary hubs in this high-elevation landscape within Catskill Park, mapped in the mid-1940s. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys of Schoharie Creek and Gooseberry Creek, where development is concentrated alongside several summer camps such as Camp Schoharie and Camp Mayfair. This era captures the region's mid-century transition from earlier resource-based industries toward a seasonal mountain economy, evidenced by landmarks like Onteora Park and the specialized Central Sch in Hunter.
