About this map

Tomhannock Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Rensselaer County survey, its irregular shoreline following the contours of the surrounding hills. This water body is fed by streams like Otter Creek and drained by Tomhannock Creek, illustrating a well-defined drainage system that has influenced the layout of local roads and hamlets. Settlement patterns are concentrated along historic corridors, with Raymertown situated near the reservoir's eastern edge and Haynersville to the south.

Elevated terrain features such as Mt Rafinesque, Rice Mtn, and Piser Hill provide a topographical framework for the region's agricultural and residential development. Local history is anchored by sites like Maplewood Cem and small communities such as Brunswick Center and Cropseyville. The network of local routes, including the Northern Turnpike and various county roads, connects these rural centers, tracing the evolution of transportation in this part of upstate New York.
