1973 Map of Hancock

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Taconic Mountains form the spine of this borderland, where the state line between New York and Massachusetts cuts across high ridges like Misery Mountain and Potter Mtn. This mid-century landscape is defined by its recreation and conservation history, featuring the Brodie Mtn Ski Area and Jiminy Peak Ski Area alongside the expansive Pittsfield State Forest. To the west, the village of Stephentown and its surrounding hamlets like North Stephentown are connected by an Old RR Grade, tracing the valley of Wyomanock Creek. Local life in the hollows is marked by essential community landmarks such as Hancock Central Sch and the St Josephs Cem near the Kinderhook Creek. The terrain remains largely protected, with the Forbush Wildlife Sanctuary and Balance Rock State Park preserving the high-elevation wetlands of Berry Pond.
