About this map

Moodna Creek carves a path through this Hudson Valley landscape, connecting several distinct residential and industrial clusters. The waterway passes through Salisbury Mills and Orrs Mill, highlighting the historical reliance on local hydraulic power. To the north, the sprawling grounds of Stewart International Airport dominate the terrain near Little Britain, while the eastern edge is defined by the high elevations of Sloop Hill and Plum Point along the Hudson River.

Infrastructure like the Catskill Aqueduct underscores the region's importance to New York's regional utility network. Community life is represented through numerous burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cem and Woodlawn Cem, alongside growing neighborhoods like Firthcliffe Heights and Meadowbrook. To the south, the terrain becomes more dramatic as it rises toward Schunnemunk Mountain and Black Rock, creating a sharp contrast between the settled valley floor and the high ridges.
