About this map

Roeliff Jansen Kill winds through this Hudson Valley landscape, defining the rural character of the borderlands between Columbia and Dutchess counties. The settlement pattern is anchored by historic hamlets and intersections like Nevis, Blue Store, and Clermont, where legacy structures and community landmarks persist into the modern era. The presence of several historic burial grounds, including the Saint John's Lutheran Church Cem and the Elizaville Cem, provides critical anchor points for genealogists tracing family histories in the area.

Industrial and agricultural roots are evident in the naming of Bingham Mills and Red Hook Mills, reflecting a time when local waterways powered the regional economy. The map also captures specialized land uses such as the Greig Farm Airport near Upper Red Hook. From the heights of Turkey Hill to the basins of Warackamac Lake and Twin Lakes, the terrain is a complex mix of orchards, small wetlands, and residential clusters that have evolved slowly over the decades.
