About this map

The village of Stamford sits at the foot of Utsayantha Mountain in this 1940s survey of the Catskill region. This map records the path of the Ulster And Delaware Railroad as it winds past Utsayantha Lake and through South Gilboa Station, a critical corridor for the area's agricultural and resort economy. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Moresville Range and McGregor Mountain, which provide the watershed for the West Branch of the Delaware River.

Family history is well-preserved through numerous small burying grounds, including Evergreen Cem, Champlin Cem, and Sacred Heart Cem. The rural landscape of Jefferson and Gilboa is dotted with legacy features such as School No 1 and a Lookout Tower, alongside the sprawling Burnt Rossman Hills State Forest. This edition, updated in the early 1980s, documents the persistence of these upland settlements and the conservation of the surrounding hills.
