2013 Map of Pawling

About this map

The Swamp River and E Br Croton River valleys define this region of the New York-Connecticut border, where the village of Pawling serves as a central hub for the surrounding ridges. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are documented across the landscape, including Saint John's Cem, the Watts Cem, and the venerable Old Baptist Burying Ground near Pine Island. The map records several long-established crossroads and small settlements like Hurd Corners, Baker Corner, and Akins Corners, many of which maintain their distinct identity amidst the upland terrain of Hammersly Ridge and West Mountain. Numerous water bodies, from the Pawling Reservoir to the recreationally significant Green Mountain Lake and Quaker Lake, highlight the area's transition from an agricultural past to its contemporary character.
