About this map

Middleburg sits at the heart of this valley landscape, where the waters of Schoharie Creek and Little Schoharie Creek converge. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Vromans Nose and Hony Hill, which overlook a network of hollows and small settlements. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Franklinton and The Vlaie stand near the headwaters of Catskill Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this upland region.

The distribution of local landmarks like School No 5 and the Gates Hill Ch suggests a decentralized rural community structure common to mid-century Schoharie County. Numerous family-named cemeteries, including Mattice Cem and Taylor Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing valuable data for genealogical research. The mapping, completed by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the War Department, captures a precise moment in the local road development, including the prominent Clauverwie Road.
