2010 Map of Tomhannock

About this map

The Tomhannock Reservoir dominates this portion of Rensselaer County, its sprawling shoreline creating a central geography around which numerous small hamlets and rural settlements are clustered. In the early 21st century, the landscape retains a distinctive agrarian and residential character, evidenced by Herrington Farms and the network of local roads like Plank Rd and Mud Tpke that connect historic crossroads. Settlement patterns are anchored by nodes such as Brunswick Center, Cropseyville, and Haynersville, while the presence of Maplewood Cemetery and Morrison Cemetery provides valuable landmarks for genealogical research. To the southwest, the elevation rises sharply at Mount Rafinesque and Rice Mountain, overlooking the drainage of the Deep Kill and Sweet Milk Creek.
