About this map

The Tenmile River valley serves as the central corridor for this late-century landscape, where the Metro North rail line connects small settlements like Dover Plains and Wingdale. The terrain is defined by steep ridges, notably Chestnut Ridge to the west and the heights of Schaghticoke Mtn to the east, which straddles the border near the Schaghticoke Indian Reservation.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as the Valley View Cem and The Stone Church, while industrial heritage is preserved in place names like Dover Furnace. The transition from New York into Connecticut is marked by the Housatonic River near Bulls Bridge. From the scattered homesteads of Dogtail Corners to the protected land at Thomas J Boyce County Park, the map illustrates a region where narrow valley agriculture and historic village centers meet the preserved wilds of the Harlem Valley.
