2010 Map of Grafton

About this map

Grafton and its surrounding hamlets occupy a high-relief landscape in Rensselaer County, defined by a network of lakes and narrow creek valleys. The settlement pattern follows the orientation of Sunkaissia Creek and the Quacken Kill, with historic clusters like Boyntonville and Potter Hill established along early transit corridors. Water management and recreation are central to the terrain, from the southern reach of the Dunham Reservoir to the clusters of seasonal and residential camps at Babcock Lake and Lake Lorraine. Local genealogy is anchored at the Warren Cemetery on the road north to Southwest Hoosick. The map illustrates a rural New York geography where name-bearing landscape features like Dickinson Hill and Couch Hollow separate small industrial and agricultural pockets such as Factory Hollow and Pittstown.
