About this map

Schoharie Creek dictates the geography of this Catskill foothills region, cutting a wide valley through prominent elevations like Terrace Mountain and Barton Hill. The village of Schoharie serves as a central hub, rich with local heritage markers such as the Old Stone Fort Museum and the adjacent Old Stone Fort Cemetery. The map reflects a landscape defined by its agricultural roots and early industrial connections, where the Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks meet the water at Schoharie Junction.

Evidence of historical crossroads appears at Sidney Corners and Vroman Corners, while the presence of the Schoharie Valley Grange underscores the area's rural social fabric. From the limestone Quarry near the village to the heights of Cotton Hill, the topography is varied and detailed. This survey, updated with late 20th-century revisions, preserves the location of essential community landmarks including St Pauls Cem Courthouse and the Central Bridge settlement.
