About this map

Haverstraw and West Haverstraw anchor the western shore of the Hudson River where the waterway widens into the expansive Haverstraw Bay. The terrain is defined by dramatic riverfront heights such as High Tor and South Mtn, which overlook the dense suburban corridors of New City and Congers. To the east, across the water, the Westchester and Rockland county line bisects the river, bordering the sharp geography of Croton Point and Tellers Point.

This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape shaped by large-scale water management, dominated by DeForest Lake and the smaller Congers Lake and Rockland Lake. Historical local features remain prominent, including the Mount Repose Cem and the Briarcliff-Peekskill Pkwy, which navigates the elevations near Mount Airy. The map preserves names of specific landings and landmarks like Verdrietiege Hook and Hook Mtn, reflecting the long-standing maritime and navigational importance of this stretch of the Hudson.
