2023 Map of Clermont

About this map

Clermont and the surrounding Hudson Valley landscape are defined by the winding course of the Roeliff Jansen Kill, which carves through a region of scattered agricultural settlements and local family cemeteries. The mapping of the Columbia Co and Dutchess Co border highlights the transition between these two historic counties, passing through the community of Nevis. Notable for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Saint John's Lutheran Church Cem and Clermont Cem. The presence of Bingham Mills suggests the area's milling history, while newer developments like the Greig Farm Airport near Upper Red Hook show the evolving land use. Small water bodies like Warackamac Lake and Twin Lakes dot the interior, connected by a network of rural routes such as the Albany Post Rd and Buckwheat Rd.
