About this map

Hillsdale and North Hillsdale serve as the primary anchors of this Columbia County landscape, where the winding path of the Roeliff Jansen Kill dictates the local topography. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural community defined by its water and high ground, from the recreational waters of Copake Lake to the elevations of Lyon Mountain and Scutt Hill. A notable point of transportation history is the Copake Lake Seaplane Base, while the presence of the Black Grocery Bridge suggests a storied past for the river crossings in the area.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by a network of burial sites, including Crum Church Cemetery, Collins Cemetery, and Niver Cemetery. These locations, along with small settlements like Craryville and Pumpkin Hollow, reflect the long-standing residential patterns of eastern New York. The map provides a contemporary view of the intersection between historic land names and modern road networks like Tacnic Creek Rd and Wolf Hill Rd.
