About this map

The Helderberg Mountains define the western reaches of this Albany County landscape, where elevation changes dramatically near Cass Hill and Wolf Hill. Central to the area is the village of Clarksville, situated along the winding course of Onesquethaw Cr. This topography, characterized by numerous named peaks like Copeland Hill and Bennett Hill, has historically dictated the settlement patterns and road networks that connect the smaller hamlets of New Salem and Unionville.

Water resources play a prominent role in the southern and eastern portions of the quadrangle, notably with Lawson Lake and the northern edge of the Alcove Reservoir. These water bodies, along with the Feuri Spruyt and Vlyman Kill, underscore the drainage systems feeding into the larger Hudson River watershed. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precisely marked locations of the Mount Pleasant Cem and Onesquethaw Cem, providing fixed points for family research within this evolving rural-suburban corridor.
