1973 Map of Hancock

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Taconic Mountains dominate this borderland landscape, where the ridge line serves as the political boundary between Rensselaer County, New York, and Berkshire County, Massachusetts. In the valley, the settlement of Hancock is anchored by the Hancock Central Sch, while the rural outskirts are defined by a network of creeks including Kinderhook Creek and the West Branch Green River. Evidence of early transportation and industry is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and numerous Gravel Pits scattered near Stephentown. The area's mid-century recreational shift is clear, with the establishment of the Brodie Mtn Ski Area and Jiminy Peak Ski Area alongside conserved lands like the Forbush Wildlife Sanctuary and Pittsfield State Forest. For genealogists, the map identifies several small burial grounds, including St Josephs Cem, alongside high-elevation landmarks such as Misery Mountain and Rounds Mountain.
