1944 Map of Middleburgh

About this map

Middleburg and the surrounding Catskill foothills appear here just before the mid-century, defined by a landscape of high ridges and narrow agricultural valleys. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevations like Vromans Nose and Hony Hill, which flank the winding path of Schoharie Creek. The settlement pattern follows the waterways and gaps, with smaller communities such as Huntersland and Franklinton serving as local hubs for the upland farms.
