About this map

The town of Grafton and the high plateaus of Rensselaer County are detailed in this survey, showcasing a landscape defined by its glacial lakes and narrow hollows. In the north, Boyntonville sits along the road to Potter Hill, while the Warren Cem provides a genealogical touchstone for the area near Southwest Hoosick. The water-rich terrain is highlighted by Babcock Lake, Long Pond, and Shaver Pond, which are central to the geography of Grafton Lakes State Park Way.

Drainage systems like the Quacken Kill and Sunkaissia Cr carve through the hills, illustrating the natural watercourses that once powered early industry at sites like Factory Hollow. From the heights of Dickinson Hill to the rural outposts of East Grafton, the map reflects a region of quiet hamlets and significant water resources, including the Dunham Reservoir in the southwest corner. The network of family-named roads, such as Parker School Rd and Eycleshymer Rd, provides a clear view of the 21st-century rural layout.
