About this map

Hudson River serves as the central artery for this region of New York, separating the urban centers of Rondout and Port Ewen from the eastern shore settlements of Rhinecliff and Rhinebeck. The map details a sophisticated maritime infrastructure, anchored by the Rondout Creek Light and Kingston Lighthouse Landing where the Rondout Cr meets the main channel. To the north, the Hudson River Bridge (Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge) provides a modern link between East Kingston and the orchards of Barrytown.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds and religious sites, including Old Rhinebeck Cem, Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem, and Montrepose Cem. The landscape transitions from the industrial waterfronts near Sleightsburg and Ponck Hockie to the agricultural reaches of Hardeman Orchards and Twin Ponds Nursery. Land elevations rise toward Hussey Hill in the south, while the Dutchess County Fairgrounds marks a significant local landmark on the eastern side of the river.
