About this map

Schoharie Creek carves a winding path through this valley, defining the landscape and settlement patterns of central Schoharie County. The village of Schoharie serves as a civic anchor, centered around the Schoharie County Courthouse and historic burial grounds like Old Stone Fort Cem and Saint Pauls Cem. The confluence of Cobleskill Creek and the main river marks a corridor of transportation and industry, connecting Central Bridge and Old Central Bridge to the rail junction at Schoharie Junction.

The topography transitions from the alluvial flats of the river valley to prominent heights such as Terrace Mountain and Schoharie Hill. Small outlying settlements like Sloansville and Shutter Corners are tucked into the upland folds, where Fox Creek and Stony Brook descend from the ridges. This contemporary study provides a clear view of how these long-established communities and their roads, such as Co Rd 1A and Duanesburg Rd, interact with the steep terrain of Barton Hill and Cotton Hill.
