About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains dominate the western landscape of this Ulster County quadrangle, where the steep ridge of Millbrook Mountain and the distinctive landmark Gertrudes Nose overlook the valley below. This 2013 survey illustrates a region where long-standing agricultural traditions coexist with modern recreational and viticultural land use. The Wallkill River snakes through the central lowlands, powering historical sites like the Tuthilltown Grist Mill while providing the fertile grounds for numerous family-named operations, including Dolan Orchards, Wright Farms, and Journey's End Farm.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around historic crossroads and hamlets such as Gardiner, Ireland Corners, and Libertyville. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, from the New Hurley Cemetery in the south to the Bruynswick Cem and Dubois Cem. The era's economic character is visible through specialized labels for Rivendell Winery and Whitecliff Vineyard And Winery, alongside small-scale aviation facilities like Kobelt Airport and the Gardiner Airport.
