1945 Map of Prattsville

About this map

Schoharie Reservoir dominates the northern valley where Greene and Delaware counties meet, a major water feature fed by the winding Schoharie Creek. The mid-1940s landscape is defined by its steep Catskill topography, featuring notable summits like Bearpen Mtn and Bald Mtn. The village of Prattsville serves as a central hub, flanked by the distinctive Pratt Rocks to the east. The map preserves the rural infrastructure of the era, marking local education sites like School No 1 and Little West Kill Sch. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds, including the Huntersfield Cem, Deyo Cem, and Rappleyea Cem. To the west, Grand Gorge sits at a critical mountain pass, while the southern reaches of the map extend into the protected lands of Catskill State Park.
