1943 Map of Westerlo

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Helderberg Mountains rise sharply across the eastern landscape of this 1943 survey, shaping the rural development of Albany County. This terrain is defined by a network of crossroad hamlets, including Bensons Corners, Mallorys Corners, Snyders Cors, and Bramans Corners, each serving as a focal point for local agricultural commerce. The presence of numerous small burying grounds, such as the Reidsville Cem, Westerlo Cem, and Snyder Cem, offers significant evidence for genealogists tracing family lineages in the Westerlo and Rensselaerville townships. Natural water features like Warner Lake and Helderberg Lake suggest the area's role as a seasonal retreat, supported by the appearance of Camp Orinsekwa and Camp Woodstock. Large tracts of conserved land are also mapped, including the Partridge Run Game Management Area, illustrating the 20th-century shift toward forest management and public recreation.
