1953 Map of Averill Park
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Poestenkill and the surrounding townships of Rensselaer County are defined by a complex drainage network where the Poesten Kill and Quacken Kill carve through the elevated terrain of Snake Hill and Bare Top Mtn. During the early 1950s, this landscape supported a mix of established village centers and specialized landmarks, including the Pawling Sanitarium and the Pine Bowl Speedway. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named sites like Bonesteel Cem and the Bonesteel Sch in Grafton, alongside several other community markers such as Hillside Cem and St Marys Ch. The presence of numerous water bodies, from Crystal Lake and Glass Lake in the south to Davitt Pond in the north, suggests a region transitioning into a summer recreational destination while maintaining its traditional agricultural and rural character.
