2010 Map of Westerlo

About this map

Westerlo serves as the primary hub in this Albany County landscape, situated amidst a terrain defined by significant peaks and small rural hamlets. The geography is shaped by the Helderberg mountains and prominent elevations like Wolf Hill and Irish Hill, which dictate the drainage patterns of waterways such as Basic Creek and the Switz Kill. This 2010 survey illustrates a region where traditional agricultural land, evidenced by Morning Fog Farm and Mountain View Farm, exists alongside recreational sites like Camp Orinsekwa and Camp Woodstock. Numerous crossroads settlements, including Bramans Corners, Ford Corners, and Snyders Corners, reflect a long-standing pattern of dispersed local commerce. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including the Westerlo Cemetery, Reidsville Cemetery, and Snyder Cemetery, which remain key landmarks for tracing family history in the area.
