2016 Map of Alcove

About this map

Alcove Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this region where Albany Co and Greene Co meet. The area is defined by its deep history of rural settlement, centered around villages like Alcove, Grapeville, and Coeymans Hollow. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as the Helderberg Mountains and Murder Bridge Hill, with water drainage flowing through Hannacrois Creek and Grapeville Cr. For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including the Medway Congregational Christian Cem, Sylvanadale Cem, and King Hill Cem. Small water bodies like Silver Lake and Beaver Dam Lake dot the southern half, while Dickinson Falls provides a specific landmark along the creek systems that historically powered the local economy.
