2016 Map of Millerton

About this map

Millerton and its neighboring hamlets sit at the nexus of eastern Dutchess County, New York, and the Connecticut border, shaped by the waters of Webatuck Cr and Sawmill Brook. This modern survey reveals a landscape where historical burial practices are remarkably well-preserved across diverse family and community sites, such as the Knickerbocker Burial Ground and the Thompson Family Graveyard. The topography is defined by significant rises like Winchell Mtn and Silver Mtn, which frame the valley settlements of Irondale and Spencer Corners. Further south, the map documents the rural character of Shekomeko and Smithfield, locations where the Smithfield Burying Grounds and Bryan Cem mark early settlement roots. The presence of both Coleman Station and Sharon Station indicates the legacy of rail transport through this corridor, connecting the dairy and agricultural lands of the Harlem Valley to the broader region.
