2019 Map of Eagle Bridge

About this map

The Hoosic River forms a winding natural boundary through this agricultural and wooded landscape, where the rural hamlets of Washington and Rensselaer counties meet. At the center of the valley stands the Buskirks Covered Bridge, a significant local landmark connecting the settlements of Buskirk and East Buskirk. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and ponds like Wing Pond and Newcomb Pond, contrasted by the elevations of Nipmoose Hill and Oak Hill. A network of historic roads, including Meeting House Road and Lees Crossing Road, connects small communities such as West Cambridge and South Cambridge. To the south, the West Hoosick Rural Cem near the hamlet of West Hoosick provides a focal point for genealogical interest, situated among the drainage basins of Nipmoose Brook and Case Brook.
