2016 Map of Hudson South

About this map

Hudson and Catskill anchor this reach of the river where the Rip Van Winkle Bridge and Hudson River Bridge span the water. The landscape is a complex of tidal creeks and prominent elevations, such as Mt Merino and the Becraft Hills, which overlook the significant riverside marshes of South Bay and Rogers Island. Land use patterns here reflect a deep colonial and industrial history, from the historic grounds of the Olana State Historic Site to the smaller settlements of Linlithgo, Greendale, and Germantown. Waterways like the Roeliff Jansen Kill and Claverack Creek define the interior, supporting a network of rural roads and bridges including the Roeliff Jansenkill Bridge. Genealogy and local history researchers will find numerous established burial grounds, including the Hudson City Cem, Livingston Reformed Cem, and the Catskill Village Cem.
