2013 Map of Eagle Bridge

About this map

The Hoosic River winds through this rural landscape in Rensselaer and Washington counties, serving as a primary corridor for small settlements and agricultural landmarks. The Buskirks Covered Bridge stands as a notable historical crossing, anchoring the village of Buskirk. To the north and south, the map reveals a pattern of dispersed farming communities such as West Cambridge, South Cambridge, and East Pittstown, often centered around specific intersections and small brooks like Nipmoose Brook. Local genealogy and land history are preserved in the locations of the Woodside Cem and family-named properties like Stannard Farm and Passing Fancy Farm. Higher elevations such as Oak Hill and Nipmoose Hill overlook the valley, providing a clear picture of the region's topographical transition from river bottom to upland pastures during the early twenty-first century.
