From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rensselaer Plateau is a small
plateau located in the central portion of
Rensselaer County,
New York; it generally encompasses significant parts of the towns of
Berlin,
Stephentown,
Sand Lake,
Poestenkill, and
Grafton, along with small sections of several other nearby towns. Many
glacial
lakes, including
Big Bowman Pond,
Little Bowman Pond,
Round Pond and
Spring Lake are located on the plateau.
[1] Elevations on the plateau range from 1,000 to 2,000 feet (305 to 610 meters) above
sea level. Vegetation on the plateau is more similar to that found in the
Adirondack Mountains to the northwest, with abundant
Eastern White Pine,
Eastern Hemlock,
Red Spruce, and
Balsam Fir, along with more limited occurrences of
Red Pine and
Tamarack.
[2] While most to all of the plateau was logged late in the 19th century and early in the 20th century, little farming was undertaken afterwards due to extremely poor and rocky soils, allowing much of the forest to regenerate.
