1900 Map of Schoharie

About this map

Schoharie and Middleburg anchor this late nineteenth-century landscape, situated along the winding course of Schoharie Creek. The area's industrial and transit foundations are visible through the path of the Delaware and Hudson railroad, which services hubs like Schoharie Junction and Howes Cave. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Petersburg Mt and the distinctive promontory of Vroomans Nose, which overlooks the valley south of Middleburg. Small upland settlements including Patria, Mineral Springs, and Fultonham are connected by a network of early roads, reflecting a period when agricultural and mill-based economies dictated local development. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Boucks Falls and the headwaters of Catskill Creek mark the descent toward the Catskill region, while the northern edge tracks the Susquehanna Division waterway through Esperance Station.
