About this map

Kinderhook and Valatie anchor this section of northern Columbia County, where the landscape is defined by the convergence of several significant watercourses. The drainage of Kinderhook Creek and its tributaries, including Valatie Kill and Stuyvesant Brook, has long shaped the settlement patterns and industrial potential of these villages. The presence of Kinderhook Lake to the northeast serves as a prominent geographic landmark, surrounded by residential clusters like Niverville and Valatie Colony.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved here, including Kinderhook Cem and North Chatham Cem near the Rensselaer County line. The map captures the modern road network, from local routes like Bame Rd to the larger corridors that cross the Muitzes Kill area, illustrating how historic hamlets like North Chatham and Sunnyside have integrated into the contemporary landscape.
