About this map

Treadwell and the high ridge country of Delaware County are captured here in a wartime survey based on 1942 and 1943 aerial photography. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and narrow brook valleys, including Fish Hollow, Dunk Hill Hollow, and Freer Hollow. Settlement patterns follow these watercourses, with small hamlets like Leonta and West Meredith positioned along the primary routes.

Local education and community life are clearly mapped through a dense network of country schools, such as School No 11 and the West Platner Brook Sch. The terrain is marked by prominent high points like Jackson Hill and Waterman Peak, while cemetery locations like the Croton Union Cem near Treadwell provide valuable data for genealogical research. The map reflects a rural economy shaped by topographic constraints, where winding roads connect isolated hollow settlements to the larger drainage of Ouleout Creek.
