About this map

Lexington serves as the focal point for this survey of Greene County terrain, where the northern drainage of Schoharie Cr meets several significant mountain passes. This high-elevation landscape is defined by its deep notches and hollows, including Mill Hollow and Mink Hollow, which provide the primary corridors for early settlement and transport. Small agricultural and residential clusters like Jewett Center and South Jewett cling to the valley floors, while numerous family burial grounds, such as the Chase Family Cem and Gass Family Cem, remain as markers of the area's ancestral residents.

The southern portion of the map transitions into the high peaks of the Catskills, dominated by Evergreen Mountain, Rusk Mountain, and West Kill Mountain. Waterways such as West Kill and East Kill cut through the topography, leading toward established hamlets like Spruceton and Lanesville. The map captures a moment when the rugged geography continues to dictate the local road network, from the winding Co Rte 13a to the more remote Broadstreet Hollow Rd.
