About this map

The Hudson River shoreline and the high ridges of Schunnemunk Mountain define this section of Orange County in the early 21st century. The landscape is a complex mix of established urban centers like Newburgh and New Windsor, and the evolving suburban and rural spaces of Cornwall-on-Hudson and Mountainville. Substantial infrastructure like Stewart International Airport and the commercial corridors near Vails Gate Junction contrast with the protected environments of the Black Rock Forest area, where Aleck Meadow Reservoir and Sutherland Pond are located.

Local history is preserved in a significant number of burial grounds, including Saint Georges Cemetery and Woodlawn Cemetery, while the industrial and agricultural past is reflected in names like Orrs Mill, Jones Farm, and Pine View Farm. The terrain rises sharply from the river at Plum Point and Sloop Hill toward the high peaks of Whitehorse Mountain and Mount Misery, illustrating the transition from the riverfront to the highlands.
