1898 Map of Berlin

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Rutland Railroad tracks carve a north-south corridor through the narrow valley of the Hoosic River, connecting the rural hamlets of Berlin and South Berlin during the late 19th century. This rugged portion of Rensselaer County is defined by the steep ascent to the New York Massachusetts boundary line, where heights like Berlin Mtn. and Sugarloaf Hill separate the Hudson and Housatonic watersheds. The map reveals a landscape of upland farming and transit, where local roads wind through numerous named hollows such as Barber Hollow and Mc Master Hollow. To the south, Stephentown serves as a local hub near the confluence of Kinderhook Creek and the Black River. The presence of scattered mountain ponds, including Big Bowman Pond and Dyking Pond, suggests the localized water resources that supported these early upland communities before the expansion of modern infrastructure.
