Richmond Furnace and the interstate border community of State Line anchor this study of the Berkshire and Columbia County borderlands. The landscape is defined by its industrial legacy, clearly visible in the presence of the Hudson Ore Bed Pond and Leet Ore Bed Pond, remnants of the iron ore extraction that once fueled the local economy. In the valleys, established settlements like Rockdale Mills and Williamsville sit along the Williams River, while the higher ground of the Taconic Range and Harvey Mtn dictates the winding path of historic transit routes like the Williams River Rail Trl. Local genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, including Austerlitz Cem and the West Center Cem, which provide a geographic record of the area's ancestral seat.
