2019 Map of Averill Park

About this map

Poesten Kill and Quacken Kill carve through this Rensselaer County landscape, where the town of Poestenkill serves as a central hub between the hamlets of Cropseyville and Barberville. The 2019 data reveals a settlement pattern heavily influenced by the winding watercourses and the local geography of Snake Hill and Smauder Hill. To the south, the village clusters of West Sand Lake, Averill Park, and Glass Lake center around a series of glacial water bodies, including Crystal Lake and Racquet Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous burial grounds such as Elmwood Cem, Hillside Cem, and Bonesteel Cem. The presence of the Rensselaer County Airport and a dense network of local roads like Farm to Market Rd and Blue Factory Rd indicates the modern connectivity of this historically rural region.
