1946 Map of Grafton

About this map

Glacial ponds and small upland settlements define the landscape of eastern Rensselaer County in this mid-century survey. The area transitions from the lower farming grounds of Pittstown and Boyntonville in the north toward the high, lake-dotted plateau of Grafton. Water resources are a central theme, ranging from the southern Dunham Res and Quacken Kill to the cluster of ponds surrounding the village of Grafton, including Long Pond, Shaver Pond, and White Lily Pond. Local education and community life are marked by distributed landmarks such as the Groveside Sch and the Warren Cem. The prominent Dickerson Hill is capped by a Lookout Tower, overlooking a network of hollows like Ward Hollow and Couch Hollow that channeled early travel and commerce through this part of the Taconic foothills.
