About this map

Stamford and Jefferson anchor this mid-1940s topography, illustrating the high-country landscape of the Schoharie and Delaware County border. The New York Central railroad follows the valley floor, passing through the South Gilboa Sta and connecting the village of Stamford to the broader regional economy. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Utsayantha Mtn and Bald Mtn, which overlook a network of narrow hollows such as Whiting Hollow and Darling Hollow.

Rural life is marked by numerous district schools, including School No 9 and School No 14, and small community centers like Ruth and Brimstone. The headwaters of the Delaware River West Branch emerge near the Stamford Reservoir, while the northern reaches drain through the Cornell Kill and Middle Brook. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named cemeteries such as Choate Cem and Ruliffson Cem.
