1953 Map of Kinderhook

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Kinderhook and Valatie anchor this mid-century portrait of Columbia County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Kinderhook Creek and the rail-corridor operations of the New York Central. The map documents the region's deep literary and civic heritage, specifically noting the House of History and the Ichabod Crane Community House in the village centers. This survey period captures the area just before significant suburban expansion, showing a dense network of orchards and small settlements like Niverville and North Chatham. Waterways such as the Valatie Kill and Muitzes Kill weave through the terrain, supporting the established agricultural and early industrial clusters. The presence of several cemeteries and the distinct Valatie Colony provide valuable touchpoints for genealogists researching the families of the upper Hudson Valley during the 1950s.
