About this map

Schoharie and its surrounding river valley define this 1940s landscape, where the confluence of Schoharie Creek and Fox Creek supported generations of settlement. The presence of the Old Stone Fort serves as a significant landmark for local history, standing near the heart of the village. The terrain transitions from the alluvial flats of the creek to the prominent heights of Barton Hill and Terrace Mtn, with the valley floor serving as a critical corridor for the Delaware and Hudson railroad.

Transportation and education patterns are clearly etched into the countryside, with numerous rural schools like School No 5 and Barton Hill Sch serving dispersed farming communities. Notable junctions and family-named corners, such as Sidney Cors and Vroman Corners, reveal the 1940s social geography before modern highway expansions. Several historic burial grounds, including Sloansville Valley Cem and St Pauls Cem, provide essential data for genealogical research in this part of eastern New York.
