About this map

The Hudson River serves as the central divide between Ulster Co and Dutchess Co, shaping the development of the riverfront communities seen here. On the western bank, the historic neighborhoods of Kingston, including Rondout and Ponck Hockie, transition into the waterfront settlements of Sleightsburg and Port Ewen at the mouth of Rondout Creek. Multiple spans, including the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge and the Wurts Street Bridge, illustrate the long-standing necessity of connecting these trade hubs.

Across the water, Rhinebeck and Rhinecliff represent the character of the eastern shore, where the landscape is marked by significant cultural landmarks like the Old Rhinebeck Cem and Saint Peter's Lutheran Cem. The topography is defined by prominent rises such as Mt Rutsen and Prospect Hill, while the interior is punctuated by the Landsman Kill and Snyder Swamp. This map provides a detailed look at the density of cemeteries and local air infrastructure at the Kingston-Ulster Airport, reflecting the region's balance of deep-rooted heritage and modern utility.
