About this map

Batten Kill winds through the northern portion of this Washington County landscape, connecting the historic riverfront communities of Battenville and Center Falls. This 2023 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of eastern New York, where established villages like Cambridge and Greenwich anchor a network of rural roads and ridges. Notable elevation points such as Chestnut Ridge and Mount Colfax overlook a chain of water bodies in the northeast, including Hedges Lake, Schoolhouse Lake, and Lake Lauderdale.

The southern reaches of the map highlight the smaller hamlets of Coila and North Cambridge, as well as the specialized infrastructure of the Archdale Meadows Airport. Local history is visible in the placement of Woodlands Cem and the transition from the wetlands of Fly Swamp to the upland terrain of The Cobble. This modern topographic study records a landscape defined by centuries of settlement along the tributaries of Cambridge Creek and White Creek.
