About this map

Leeds and the surrounding Greene County countryside are defined by the winding course of Catskill Creek and its many tributaries, including Potic Creek and Cob Creek. The landscape transition from the flats near Leeds Flat to the higher elevations of Potic Mtn and Indian Ridge is marked by a network of historic thoroughfares like the Schoharie Tpke. The map serves as a detailed record for genealogists, preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds such as Waldron Brandow Cem, Honey Hollow Cem, and Gayhead Cem.

Rural aviation and industry are evidenced by the Catskill Valley Airpark near South Cairo and the Lakes Mills Bridge over Jan De Bakkers Kill. While modern roads have evolved, the map retains the names of older routes like All Peat Beds Rd and Sugar Loaf Rd, reflecting the agricultural and natural resource history of the Hudson Valley hinterlands. Settlements like Result, Earlton, and Gayhead remain interconnected by these traditional corridors, bridging the gap between the historic river towns and the upland interior.
