1945 Map of Stamford

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Stamford serves as a focal point in the southwest corner of this mid-century landscape, where the West Branch Delaware River begins its course near the shores of Utsayantha Lake. The map reveals a rural economy shaped by high-elevation terrain, with the New York Central railroad corridor cutting through the valley to serve South Gilboa Station. Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered across the hills, including Evergreen Cem, Blenheim Hill Cem, and Champlin Cem, many of which sit near established settlements like Jefferson and South Jefferson. Notable peaks such as Utsayantha Mountain and Bald Mountain dominate the topography, while smaller hollows like Mine Kill Hollow and Darling Hollow Creek define the drainage patterns toward the northeast. The presence of School No 1 and various unnamed cemeteries suggests the historical footprint of earlier agricultural communities before the mid-1940s field check.
