About this map

Lexington and Jewett Center sit along the northern corridor of the Schoharie Creek valley, where the landscape is defined by the steep rises of the Catskill Mountains. This topographic survey shows a series of tight valley settlements connected by winding mountain roads, including South Jewett and Spruceton. The terrain is characterized by numerous hollows, such as Mink Hollow and Peck Hollow, which funnel drainage into the West Kill and East Kill tributaries.

Genealogists can identify several distinct family and community burial sites scattered across the township, including the Chase Family Cemetery, Gass Family Cemetery, and Parker Cemetery. The map also captures the secluded Camp Delmar and the southern settlement of Lanesville, providing a detailed view of the Greene County interior before more recent modern developments influenced the corridor of Route 23a.
