About this map

Richmondville and its surrounding hamlets sit within the steep valleys of Schoharie County, where the waters of Cobleskill Creek and West Creek have long dictated the patterns of settlement and transport. This modern survey illustrates a landscape deeply connected to its past, preserving a high concentration of family and community burial grounds such as the Richmondville Rural Cem and the New Rhinebeck Cem. The village of Lawyersville is prominent to the northeast, while smaller clusters like Hyndsville, Seward, and Gardnersville are linked by a network of rural roads that trace the contours of the hills.

Topographic landmarks like Pine Hill and Mt Shank rise above the agricultural clearings, while deep ravines like Bear Gulch and Beards Hollow cut through the southern terrain. The persistence of names like Luenburgh Tpke reflects the area's history as a transit corridor. For those researching local lineages, the map provides precise locations for numerous smaller sites, including the West Richmondville Cem and Shafer Cem.
