1943 Map of Sharon Springs

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds and rural institutions mapped here, such as the Ames Cemetery, Olmstead Cemetery, and the Dutch Reformed Church. The map also captures the placement of several numbered schoolhouses, like School No 5 and School No 12, which were the social anchors for farming families along Canajoharie Creek and Flat Creek. Distinctive natural features like Bellinger Caves and Cedar Swamp reflect the geological character of the northern Schoharie region before mid-century development.
