1963 Map of Clermont

About this map

Roeliff Jansen Kill winds through the heart of the Hudson Valley on this survey, defining the agrarian and industrial boundary between Columbia and Dutchess Counties. The landscape is dotted with historic hamlets and mill sites, from the northern cluster at Bingham Mills and Blue Store to the southern reaches of Upper Red Hook and Red Hook Mills. Significant family estates and early settlements are connected by a network of established roads like Hillsdale Rd and Lasher Avenue, while the Taconic State Parkway cuts a modern path through the eastern highlands. Local landmarks such as St Johns Ch in Manorton and the water bodies of Twin Lakes and Warackamac Lake reflect a region defined by its rural heritage and early New York manor history.
