About this map

Treadwell serves as the central hub for this portion of Delaware County, where several historic roads like Dehli-Leonta Rd and Post Rd converge. The landscape is defined by its numerous hollows and peaks, including Waterman Peak and Bennett Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of the local infrastructure. This topography creates distinct pockets of settlement such as Leonta and Arabia, each often centered around a family or community cemetery like the Croton Union Cem or Goldsmith Cem.

The hydrography of the region is equally influential, with the East Branch Handsome Brook and West Platner Brook carving through the hills. These waterways, along with features like Chisholm Pond, historically shaped the agricultural and domestic patterns of the area. Researchers can trace long-standing property boundaries and rural routes, such as Blue School Rd, which reflect the early educational and social organization of these upland New York townships.
