2013 Map of Hyde Park

About this map

Esopus Meadows Lighthouse stands as a maritime sentinel on the Hudson River, marking a stretch of the waterway where the tide-driven river meets a landscape of prominent points and coves. The 2013 survey of this region highlights the established estates and hamlets that define the eastern and western banks, including Staatsburg, West Park, and Haviland. Transportation history is visible through the New York Central Railroad Bridge and the Dock Street Bridge, which connect these riverfront communities to the water-based economy. Local heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds such as Stoutenbergh Cem and the Ascension Church Cem, while the interior terrain is marked by family-named landmarks like Dinsmore Point and Maynard Farms, illustrating the deep-rooted agricultural and social history of Dutchess and Ulster Counties.
