About this map

Schenevus Creek and the Delaware and Hudson railroad define the central corridor of this region, where the village of Schenevus serves as a primary hub for commerce and transport. The landscape is characterized by narrow valleys and significant relief, including elevations at Hooker Mountain and Badeau Hill. In the southern reaches, Charlotte Creek flows through the Charlotte Valley, connecting smaller settlements like South Worcester and Simpsonville.

Evidence of local industry is visible in several quarries and a shale pit scattered near the rail line. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Maple Grove Cem, Bliven Cem, and Simpson Cem. The northern portion features the Hooker Mtn State Wildlife Mgmt Area, while water bodies like Seward Lake and Caryl Lake dot the upland terrain between the primary creek systems.
