1946 Map of Taborton

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Rensselaer County highlands are defined here by a dense concentration of glacial ponds and small settlements along the headwaters of the Poesten Kill. In the mid-1940s, the village of Taborton served as a local hub near Big Bowman Pond and Little Bowman Pond, while smaller hamlets like East Poestenkill and Bucks Corner were connected by a network of unimproved dirt roads. The landscape is dotted with markers of early rural community life, including the Fifty Six Cem and Fifty Six Ch in the west, and the Dutch Ch toward the east. This era shows a transition toward conservation and recreation, evidenced by the large Capital District Forest and Game Refuge and the presence of Camp Hiwatha. Geologists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks like Snyder Cem and Perigo Hill across the townships of Grafton, Berlin, and Poestenkill.
