1904 Map of Copake

About this map

Ancram Leadmines and Copake Ironworks highlight the industrial character of eastern Columbia County during the early twentieth century. This area is defined by the winding course of the Roeliff Jansen Kill and its various tributaries, which powered early industry at sites like Spaulding Furnace and New Forge. A complex web of rail transportation is evident, with the New York Central and Hudson River R.R. Harlem Division and the Central New England R.R. intersecting at Boston Corners. Smaller hamlets like Pumpkin Hollow, Glenco Mills, and Silvernails are connected by a dense network of country roads. The topography transitions from the valley of Taghkanic Creek in the west to the higher elevations of the Taconic Range along the Massachusetts border, featuring prominent peaks such as Alander Mt. and Washburn Mt. near the boundary line.
