River in the United States of America

The Roeliff Jansen Kill^[2] is a major tributary to the Hudson River. Roeliff Jansen Kill was the traditional boundary between the Native American Mahican and Wappinger tribes.^[3]

Its source is in the town of Austerlitz, New York, and its mouth is at the Hudson River at Linlithgo in the town of Livingston. The stream flows for 56.2 miles (90.4 km)^[4] through Dutchess and Columbia counties before entering the Hudson River about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Hudson.^[5]

Most of the watershed lies in Columbia County, although parts of the northern Dutchess County towns of North East, Stanford, Pine Plains, Milan, and Red Hook are within the stream's watershed of approximately 212 square miles (550 km²).^[6] A major tributary is Shekomeko Creek.^[7]

These meetings are usually brisk and business-like, although occasionally we’ll hear something sensational, like the time Kinderhook preservationists broke into a condemned building they believed was historically significant and discovered a dead body, then argued for 30 minutes about whether to call the police because, technically, they were trespassing. That’s a Netflix limited series, right there.

  Equally riveting was a November 2023 presentation by Max Cane, a Canaan, NY-based historian and “detectorist,” the term used in the UK to describe someone who uses a portable metal detector as a hobby. But Max, who has a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and a master’s in geology from RPI, is no mere hobbyist. He’s more like an archeologist, scanning topography to locate abandoned f
