About this map

The Hudson River bisects this river-valley landscape, serving as the central axis for a string of riverside settlements and estates. On the eastern shore, Hyde Park and Staatsburg are connected by a network of historic roads like Mills Mansion 2 Rd, while the western shore features the high ground of Shaupeneak Mountain overlooking Esopus and West Park. The presence of the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse offshore and landmark docks like Pelham Dock and Brown's Dock emphasize the longstanding maritime importance of the river corridor.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Stoutenberg Cemetery, Beaver Cemetery, and the Ascension Church Cemetery. Industrial and recreational development appears through features like DeWitt Mills, the Staatsburg Reservoir, and institutional sites such as Camp Torah Vodaath and Dominican Camp. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges and hills, from Lloyd Hill in the east to the ominous-sounding The Hell in the northwest corner near Ulster Park.
