1944 Map of Hancock

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Taconic Mountains define the border between New York and Massachusetts in this mid-1940s survey, creating a landscape of high ridges and deep hollows. Hancock and Stephentown serve as the primary valley settlements, connected by a network of rural routes like Main Road and Potter Road. The map captures a moment when small schoolhouses like Balance Rock Sch and Sch at Gorton still served these isolated mountain communities. High peaks such as Brodie Mountain and Misery Mountain dominate the skyline, while the Fire Tower on Brodie suggests the importance of forest monitoring during this era.
