About this map

Summit sits atop the high ground of Schoharie County during the mid-1940s, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by deep hollows and upland ridges. The area is marked by a high density of rural schoolhouses, including School No 9, School No 13, and Cross Hill Sch, reflecting a distributed community structure before the widespread consolidation of local districts.

Drainage patterns are intricate, with unique water features like Rossman Fly, Fox Vly, and Bear Gulch Pond scattered across the plateau. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into the township of Jefferson, featuring the small settlement of East Jefferson. Genealogists will find significant value in the identified family-named landmarks and burial sites, such as the Rossman Cem and Fulton Hill Cem, which anchor the local history of the Fulton and Summit townships.
