About this map

The Little Hoosic River valley forms the central corridor of this eastern New York landscape, where the settlements of Berlin, Center Berlin, and Cherryplain follow the low ground between massive ridges. This area is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, rising from the riverbed into the high peaks of the Taconic Range. Researchers will find a high density of genealogical landmarks, including the Berlin Community Cem, Meadow Lawn Cem, and Center Berlin Cem.

To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it crosses into the Green Mountain National Forest at the Vermont and Massachusetts borders. The map documents numerous hollows that cut into the mountainside, such as Mattison Hollow and Cowdry Hollow, which historically provided routes for early mountain roads like Mattison Hollow Rd. High-altitude features like Berlin Mtn and the Taconic Crest Trl mark the transition from the settled valley to the protected wilderness of the tri-state corner.
