Presidential legacies and Gilded Age estates define this stretch of the Hudson River Valley. The shoreline is punctuated by significant landmarks, most notably the Home of Franklin D Roosevelt National Historic Site and the nearby Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site, which anchor the southern end of the map. Further north, the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site sits prominently above the river near Hyde Park. Across the water in Ulster County, the landscape transitions to the wooded heights of Shaupeneak Mtn and the agricultural surroundings of Ulster Park. Several historic burial grounds, including the Saint James Episcopal Cem and Hyde Park Dutch Reformed Church Cem, offer essential reference points for local genealogists tracing families in the riverfront communities of Staatsburg and Esopus.
