About this map

The Little Hoosick River valley anchors this 2013 topographic survey of the borderlands between New York and Massachusetts. The terrain is defined by a dense series of hollows—named for early families and local landmarks—including Greene Hollow, Cowdry Hollow, and Mattison Hollow. These deep ravines descend from the high ridges of Berlin Mtn and Mt Raimer, where the Taconic Trails Ski Area once operated.

Settlement patterns follow the valley floor, connecting Petersburg to Cherryplain via a network of rural roads such as Jones Hollow Rd and Satterlee Hollow Rd. Cultural history is preserved in small burial grounds like Center Berlin Cem and Meadow Lawn Cem, while modern recreation is represented by the Broken Wheel Campground and the Williams College Ski Area. The map captures a high-elevation landscape where the Petersburg Pass and the unique geological feature known as The Snow Hole mark the rugged transition between the river valley and the Taconic summits.
