About this map

Schoharie serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, situated along the winding Schoharie Creek valley where the floodplains meet rising elevations like Terrace Mountain. The village’s historic character is anchored by the Old Stone Fort, while the surrounding rural landscape is dotted with early 20th-century schoolhouses including Barton Hill Sch and School No 13.

Transport and commerce revolve around the Delaware and Hudson railroad, which intersects the region at Schoharie Junction and passes through Central Bridge. The map details a shift in settlement patterns, visible in the distinction between Old Central Bridge and its newer counterpart. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds such as St Pauls Cem and Sloansville Valley Cem, which mark the lineage of this agrarian community at the height of the Second World War era.
