1960 Map of Millbrook

About this map

Millbrook and South Millbrook serve as the central hubs of this Dutchess County landscape, characterized by a network of winding country roads and institutional landmarks. Higher education and local services are prominent, shown through the campus of Bennett College and nearby St Josephs Sch, alongside the Convalescent Home and County Home. The terrain is defined by distinct ridges and hollows, such as The Hogback and Chestnut Ridge, which dictate the drainage of Wappinger Creek and its many tributaries. North of the main settlements, the rural character is punctuated by smaller hamlets like Stanfordville and Bangall. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed locations of local burying grounds, including Stanford Cem, Nine Partners Cem, and Haight Cem. The eastern portion of the map transitions into more secluded areas near Mutton Hollow and Butts Hollow, while the Taconic State Parkway provides a modern transit artery through the western hills.
