1946 Map of Prattsville

About this map

The Schoharie Reservoir dominates this mid-century landscape, illustrating the critical hydrological infrastructure serving the region. To the west, Grand Gorge sits at the junction of the Bear Kill, while Prattsville serves as a central hub further south along the Schoharie Creek. This era shows a community defined by its rural heritage, with a high concentration of family and local burial grounds like Fairlawn Cem, Huggins Cem, and Rappleyea Cem. The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Bearpen Mtn and Roundtop, while the Van Winkle Trail follows the winding path of Batavia Kill. Educational sites such as School No 1 and Little West Kill School are visible, alongside industrial markers like the Aqueduct and Gaging Sta, reflecting the management of the water system within the Catskill State Park boundaries.
