About this map

Batten Kill meanders through this agricultural valley, anchoring a series of small settlements and family farms along the New York and Vermont border. The village of Shushan sits near the river's bend, while the Eagleville Covered Bridge serves as a prominent landmark connecting the local road network near Eagleville. The map reveals a landscape defined by its hollows and ridges, such as Murray Hollow and Camden Ridge, where narrow roads like Camden Valley Rd follow the natural contours of the land.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous family-named burial grounds and farmsteads dotting the countryside, including the Le Barron-Harrington Farm Cemetery and Guber Farm. These sites, along with smaller locales like Pumpkin Hook and Ash Grove, illustrate a decentralized rural community where life is organized around the creeks and hills that divide the terrain, from White Creek in the south to Chunks Brook in the northeast.
