2011 Map of Berlin

About this map

The Little Hoosic River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement in this 2011 survey, where the towns of Berlin and Petersburg are surrounded by a series of named hollows. The terrain is marked by distinctive topographic features such as The Snow Hole and Berlin Mountain, while the regional recreation history is represented by the Taconic Trails Ski Area and the Williams College Ski Area. Local families and early inhabitants are recorded through numerous hollows like Jones Hollow, Southeast Hollow, and Mattison Hollow, alongside well-placed burial grounds including Pleasant Valley Cemetery and Center Berlin Cemetery. This map captures a modern snapshot of a landscape where deep-seated agricultural roots, evidenced by sites like Haskin Farm, meet protected lands and managed forests. The transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of the Taconic Range is sharply defined, with the West Branch Green River and Dayfoot Brook draining the uplands.
