About this map

Rensselaerville sits at the foot of the Helderberg escarpment, where the cascading Rensselaer Falls transitions into the winding Tenmile Creek. This survey details a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-altitude water bodies, including Myosotis Lake and Crystal Lake. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Cook Hill and West Mountain, while the valley floors are home to established settlements like Hawversville.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in sites like the Gifford Hollow Burial Ground and the Huntersland Christian Cem. The map also traces a network of recreational and historic paths, including the Long Path Trl and the Border Trl, which navigate the plateaus and hollows of the Albany and Schoharie county line. This contemporary study highlights the enduring rural character of the region, from the depths of The Gulf to the heights of Garver Hill.
