About this map

Lebanon Springs and the surrounding valley of Kinderhook Creek define this landscape along the New York and Massachusetts border. The terrain is marked by the high elevations of the Taconic Range, including Perry Peak and The Knob, which overlook a series of historic hamlets and agricultural pockets. Settlement patterns follow the water and the roads, with New Lebanon and West Lebanon serving as key nodes along the Columbia Pike.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites such as the Cem of the Evergreens and Cornwall-Tilden Cem. To the south, the area around Queechy Lake and the settlement of Canaan shows a mix of recreational water features and rural crossroads. The presence of Shaker Swamp and several Shaker-named roads, like Canaan Shaker Rd, reflects the significant communal history that once shaped this region's development.
