About this map

The village of Maybrook serves as a significant rail junction in the late 1950s, where the Erie RR and the New York New Haven and Hartford RR converge. This transport corridor shaped the surrounding Orange County landscape, linking settlements like Washingtonville and Burnside through a network of waterways including the Moodna Creek and Otter Kill. To the south, the terrain rises toward Schunemunk Mountain and Woodcock Hill, framing the agricultural and residential development of Blooming Grove.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of burial sites throughout the region, such as St Davids Cem, Woodhull Cem, and Sears Cem. The presence of Stewart AF Base in the northeast corner and Camp Lenni-Len-A-Pe near the mountain slopes highlights the mid-century diversity of land use, from military aviation to seasonal recreation. Landmarks like the Otter Kill Golf and Country Club and the Round Hill Substation anchor the era's local infrastructure.
