About this map

Cornwall-on-Hudson sits prominently along the Hudson River on this 2013 survey, showcasing a landscape where historical industry and modern settlement intersect. The map detail highlights the riverfront character of Cornwall Landing and the inland industrial roots of Orrs Mill and Salisbury Mills. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward Schunnemunk Mountain and Whitehorse Mountain, framing a valley corridor that has long served as a vital transportation route.

Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data, from several significant burial grounds like Woodlawn Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem to established family farms such as Jones Farm and the Swissette Herb Farm. The area's water resources are clearly mapped, from the expansive Lake Washington and Beaverdam Lake to the winding course of Moodna Cr, illustrating how these features have shaped the development of communities like Mountainville and Vails Gate.
