2016 Map of Summit

About this map

Summit sits as the central settlement of this high-elevation region, surrounded by a complex network of glacial ponds and narrow hollows. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages, including Wharton Hollow Cr and the headwaters of Charlotte Cr, which carve through the plateau between The Cobble and Misty Mountain. The agricultural and social history of the area is particularly evident in the dual burial grounds found at multiple hamlets, such as the Old Eminence Cem and New Eminence Cem near Eminence, suggesting generations of local lineage. This modern survey illustrates how traditional farm-to-market routes like Fulton Hill Rd and Rossman Valley Rd continue to navigate the steep terrain of Beards Hollow and Sawyer Hollow, maintaining the rural character of Schoharie County.
