1944 Map of Richmondville

About this map

Richmondville and Cobleskill anchor this mid-century topographic record of Schoharie County, which highlights the deeply carved valleys and hollows of central New York during the 1940s. The Delaware and Hudson railroad serves as the primary artery through the landscape, following the course of the West Delaware AND Hudson Creek and connecting rural outposts like Hyndsville and Warnerville. This survey reveals a remarkably dense network of local landmarks, including one-room schoolhouses like School No 14 and School No 6, alongside numerous family and community burial grounds such as Peoples Cem and Beekman Cem. Small crossroads settlements including Beekman Corners, Zeh Corners, and Gardnersville punctuate the agricultural uplands, while landmarks like St Johns Ch and Fuller Pond provide specific points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing the heritage of the Sharon, Seward, and Richmondville townships.
