1898 Map of Schoharie

About this map

Schoharie and its neighboring valley towns are defined by the convergence of the Cobleskill Creek and Schoharie Creek in this late nineteenth-century landscape. The map captures a critical transportation era where the Delaware and Hudson RR and the Middleburg and Schoharie RR follow the valley floor, connecting agricultural centers like Middleburg and Cobleskill to broader markets. Beyond the rail lines, the topography reveals distinct landmarks such as Vroomans Nose and the steep elevations of Petersburg Mt., alongside numerous small hamlets that served local farming families.
