About this map

Hillsdale and its surrounding hamlets occupy a landscape shaped by the Roeliff Jansen Kill and its various tributaries. This recent survey of Columbia County illustrates a complex network of local roads and state routes, including the Taconic State Pkwy, connecting historic settlements like Craryville and North Hillsdale. The topography is defined by several prominent rises, such as Lyon Mtn and Rheinstrom Hill, which look down upon agricultural valleys and water bodies including Copake Lake and Philmont Reservoir.

Genealogists will find several burial sites well-documented across the terrain, from Krum Church Cem in the north to the Williams Cem further south. The map also captures specialized land uses, including the B Flat Farm Airport and the interestingly named Black Grocery Bridge. The presence of Pumpkin Hollow and several family-named landmarks like Scutt Hill and Texas Hill provides a clear view of the area's established local identity and geographic divisions.
