About this map

Livingstonville and Broome Center anchor this mid-1940s landscape, where the northern Catskills meet the administrative borders of Schoharie, Albany, and Greene Counties. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Leonard Hill, South Mountain, and Steenburg Mtn, with the deep valleys of Catskill Creek and Manor Kill dictating the placement of early settlements and road networks.

Genealogists can trace a network of one-room schoolhouses, including School No 9, School No 12, and School No 3, which served the scattered farming families in the townships of Gilboa and Conesville. Small community burying grounds such as Keyser Cem and Ellis Cem are preserved in the survey, alongside historic land markers like Scott Patent Hill and the survey station at Fancher 1952. This military-compiled survey captures the rural character of the region just after the war, before modern development further altered the Catskill foothills.
