2023 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington and Jewett Center sit along the upper reaches of Schoharie Creek, anchoring a landscape defined by the high peaks and deep hollows of the Catskill Mountains. This 2023 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of the region, where hamlets like Spruceton and West Kill are tucked into narrow valleys between Evergreen Mountain and Rusk Mountain. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and small burial grounds, including the Chase Family Cem, Gass Family Cem, and Parker Cem. The southern portion of the sheet transitions across the Greene Co and Ulster Co boundary near Lanesville, where the terrain drops sharply into Stony Clove. Long-established hiking routes like Devil's Path Trl and Diamond Notch Trl trace the ridgelines, connecting summits like West Kill Mountain and North Dome.
