About this map

Copake and its surrounding hamlets in eastern Columbia County are defined by a complex network of waterways and early industrial sites. The winding Roeliff Jansen Kill and Bash Bish Brook navigate a landscape of low ridges, feeding into significant water bodies like Robinson Pond and Shaver Pond. Evidence of the area's history remains visible through place names like Weed Mines and Preechey Hollow, pointing to the region's historical iron mining activity.

Settlement patterns in 2010 still follow traditional crossroads and transit points, from the cluster at Copake Falls near the Massachusetts border to the agricultural expanses surrounding Ancramdale. Scattered landmarks such as the Thompson- Finch Farm and Old Croken indicate long-standing land divisions. The terrain is bounded by prominent elevations including Washburn Mountain and Alander Mountain, which hem in the narrow corridors of the Nester Kill and Webatuck Creek near the tri-state corner.
