2019 Map of Summit

About this map

Summit sits as the central hub of this Schoharie County terrain, where the northern waters of Summit Lake and Bear Gulch Pond give way to a landscape defined by deep valleys and high ridges. The map documents a rural network of namesake hollows, including Beards Hollow and Charlotte Valley, alongside smaller upland communities like Eminence and East Jefferson. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, marked by numerous small burial grounds such as the Old Summit Cem, the Eminence Walled Cem, and the Rossman Cem. This 2019 survey illustrates a modern road system following ancient natural corridors, where routes like Wharton Hollow Rd and Misty Mountain Rd trace the contours of the Catskill foothills. Notable landmarks like The Cobble and Burnt Hill overlook the winding paths of Wharton Hollow Cr and Panther Cr, showing how the early settlement patterns of these New York uplands have persisted into the current century.
