About this map

Richmondville serves as the primary hub in this portion of Schoharie County, situated along the path of Cobleskill Creek. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural history, with numerous small clusters such as Gardnersville, Hyndsville, and Janesville connected by historical turnpikes and local routes like the Luenburgh Tpke. The landscape is characterized by its numerous small burial grounds, which offer significant genealogical value, including the Richmondville Village Cem, Richmondville Rural Cem, and New Rhinebeck Cem.

From the heights of Pine Hill to the valley of West Creek, the map details a region defined by its watercourses and small-scale agriculture. Named landmarks such as Mt Shank and Bear Gulch frame the narrow valleys where communities like West Richmondville and Brooker Hollow are found. The proximity of Warnerville and Lawyersville to the east highlights the network of early cross-county roads that shaped the development of these upland New York townships.
