About this map

Rondout Creek carves a central path through this landscape, anchoring a string of historic valley settlements including Accord, Alligerville, and High Falls. The waterway’s importance to the region’s development is evident in the cluster of burial grounds and agricultural landmarks nearby, such as the Benton-Bar Cemetery and the extensive Stone Ridge Orchard. To the southeast, the terrain rises sharply into the Shawangunk Mountains, where the elevation culminates at Eagle Cliff overlooking the waters of Mohonk Lake. This transition from the fertile valley floor to the prominent ridges defines the local geography.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through numerous smaller communities like Kripplebush, Whitfield, and Lyonsville. Cultural and recreational sites are well-documented, from the Accord Speedway to Camp Shangri La. The presence of Saunderskill Farms and other named orchards reflects a long-standing agricultural tradition that persists alongside more modern infrastructure like the Sheeleys Farm Airport.
