About this map

Rensselaerville anchors the southeast corner of this landscape, where Tenmile Creek flows past the dramatic Rensselaerville Falls. The terrain is defined by a series of named ridges and hollows, including West Mountain and the deep cleft of The Gulf. Settlement patterns follow the winding valley roads, connecting small clusters at Hawversville, Zucks Corners, and Shoefelt Corners.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, from the larger Woodlawn Cemetery near Berne to the secluded Gifford Hollow Burying Ground. The region's hydrology is equally distinct, featuring numerous upland bodies of water such as Myosotis Lake, Crystal Lake, and Triangle Lake. This 2010 survey documents a transition between the high hills and the creek valleys, preserving the exact locations of family-named landmarks like Cook Hill and Henry Hill.
