2010 Map of Fort Miller

About this map

The Hudson River defines the central spine of this landscape, separating the riverfront hamlets of Fort Miller and Northumberland. To the south, the village of Thomson sits near the river banks, while the interior is marked by a network of rural crossroads and agricultural clusters like Jewell Corner, Callahans Corners, and Durkeetown. Genealogical interest is found at the Bacon Hill Cemetery and Thompson Cemetery, which serve the long-established farming communities across the upland plateaus. The topography shifts from the river bottomlands to the prominent elevations of Gavettes Mountain and Bald Mountain in the southeast. Numerous waterways, including the winding Moses Kill, Snook Kill, and Slocum Creek, drain the countryside, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that historically influenced the placement of early mills and road networks throughout the region.
