2010 Map of Summit

About this map

Summit sits as a central hub for this portion of the Catskills foothills, where the waters of Summit Lake drain into Wharton Hollow Creek. This 2010 survey details a landscape of narrow valleys and high ridges, notably Burnt Hill and The Cobble, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Sawyer Hollow Rd and Rossman Valley Rd. The settlement pattern is deeply connected to its past, evidenced by the numerous paired burial grounds such as the Old Summit Cemetery and New Summit Cemetery, as well as the Old Eminence Cemetery and New Eminence Cemetery near the hamlet of Eminence. To the north, the terrain drops toward Richmondville, while the southern reaches of the map follow the West Kill near East Jefferson. The drainage network, including Charlotte Creek and Betty Brook, highlights the complex topography that has defined Schoharie County farm and forest life for generations.
