About this map

Schoharie Creek carves a path through this Schoharie County landscape, defining the topography around the village of Middleburgh. The dramatic prominence of Vromans Nose stands over the valley floor, while further south, the waters of The Vlaie collect near Franklinton. The terrain is characterized by a series of high ridges and deep hollows, including Windy Ridge, Dutton Ridge, and Warner Hollow, which have shaped the local road network and settlement patterns for generations.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, many associated with early family names and local institutions, such as Mattice Cem, Barkman Cem, and the Huntersland School Cem. Small hamlets like West Middleburgh, Mill Valley, and Huntersland are connected by winding routes like Lawton Hollow Rd and Huntersland Hill Rd. The map also illustrates the drainage of the Catskill Mountains' northern edge, where Little Schoharie Cr and Catskill Cr originate among the steep slopes of Cotton Hill and Armlin Hill.
