About this map

Stony Point Light House stands as a sentinel over the Hudson River on this 2010 survey, marking a stretch of water where narrow channels and prominent headlands like Verplanck Point and Stony Point have long dictated river navigation. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the water's edge to the high elevations of High Tor and Hook Mountain, which hem in the dense residential growth of Haverstraw and West Haverstraw.

Evidence of the area's industrial and transport history is visible in the footprint of the Traprock Quarry and the Peekskill Seaplane Base near Verplanck. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds, including Mount Repose Cemetery and Gethsemane Cemetery. Further inland, the map captures the significant water resources of DeForest Lake and Rockland Lake, surrounded by suburban development and landmarks like the Rockland Lake Championship Golf Course.
