About this map

SUNY Coll at New Paltz anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the historic Wallkill River corridor meets the modern infrastructure of the Hudson Valley. The terrain transitions from the valley floor eastward toward the high ridges of Illinois Mtn and the Marlboro Mtn, separated by the steep notch of Baileys Gap. This area is defined by a network of small hamlets and crossroads, including Clintondale, Modena, and Ardonia, which evolved around agricultural and local transit points.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the Clintondale Friends Ground and Relyea Ground to the Lattintown Baptist Cem in the southeast. The repurposing of the regional transport network is evident in the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, which traces the former path of the railroad near Ohioville. Waterways such as the Swarte Kill, Black Cr, and Pancake Hollow Brook drain the diverse topography, while small aviation sites like Stanton Airport reflect the mid-century development of local air travel.
