About this map

Claverack Creek winds through this Hudson Valley landscape, connecting a series of hamlets established during the region's early industrial period. The map reveals the persistence of historic milling sites at Claverack-Red Mills, Linlithgo Mills, and Glenco Mills, where water power once drove local commerce. To the east, the village of Philmont sits near the dramatic High Falls, while the Taconic State Parkway cuts a modern path through the undulating terrain past Manor Rock and Pinnacle.

Genealogists will find a wealth of named local roads like Patroon St and Roxbury Hollow Farm Rd that speak to the agricultural heritage of Columbia County. The landscape is dotted with significant wetlands and ponds, including Shad Swamp, Neiber Swamp, and Stevers Pond, which sit alongside established communities like Churchtown and Hollowville, illustrating the integration of residential life with the natural drainage of the Taghkanic Creek watershed.
