About this map

The Roeliff Jansen Kill winds through the heart of this landscape, connecting historical hamlets and rural industry points. Near the settlement of Ancram, researchers can locate the Union Cemetery and the Ancram Old Cemetery, which provide important data points for local genealogy. The map also documents the location of Spaulding Furnace, a site that hints at the area's earlier industrial activities. Further south, Silvernails and Mount Ross sit along the creek's path near the southern edge of the survey.

Water features dominate the northern and central sections, most notably the wide expanse of Lake Taghkanic and the smaller Pond Lily Pond. The Taconic State Pkwy cuts a modern path through the terrain, passing near West Taghkanic and New Forge. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the road network, including numerous named rural routes like Doove Kill road and the winding Tinker Hill Rd that link these scattered settlements together.
