2013 Map of Taborton

About this map

Poesten Kill and the Black River define the drainage of this upland landscape in Rensselaer County, where the hamlets of Taborton and East Poestenkill sit among a dense network of high-elevation water bodies. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks like The Notch, Perigo Hill, and The Gipfel, reflecting the area's complex topography. This survey shows the modern preservation of the land through Cherry Plain State Park and Camp Kiwanis, contrasted with the historical presence of the Snyder Cem and Fifty Six Cem. The map tracks a legacy of rural connectivity via winding routes like Stage Coach Rd and Taborton Rd, which link the various ponds and reservoirs—including Big Bowman Pond, Wager Pond, and the Dunham Reservoir—that characterize this watershed at the start of the 21st century.
