About this map

Stephentown Center and the surrounding hamlets of Garfield, Dunham Hollow, and West Stephentown anchor this detailed study of the Rensselaer County landscape. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Turner Mtn and Johnson Hill, while the Seven Hill Firetower stands as a prominent landmark on the northern heights. A network of creeks and brooks, including Tackawasick Cr and the winding Kinderhook Cr, drainage this upland region.

Genealogists will find the locations of several local burial grounds, such as Hillside Cem, Garfield Cem, and Presbyterian Hill Cem, which are key to tracing family histories in this rural corner of New York. The map also documents the transition from forested tracts like Cherry Plain State Park to agricultural and residential pockets, including landmarks like Zema's Nursery and the Alps Family Campground.
