About this map

The Hudson River dominates the western edge of this survey, serving as the historical artery for riverside communities like Peekskill, Verplanck, and Buchanan. The landscape is defined by its deep roots in maritime and military history, featuring the sprawling military reservation of Camp Smith and the historic fortifications at Fort Clinton and Fort Montgomery. Just across the water from Dunderberg Mountain, the town of Peekskill shows a dense network of streets climbing toward Academy Hill, while the nearby residential enclaves of Toddville and Pleasantside expand toward the interior highlands.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including numerous burial grounds such as Hillside Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and the Lent Cemetery. Spiritual and social history is visible at the Graymoor Society of the Atonement, located near the wooded slopes of Sugarloaf Hill. Transport routes like the Old Albany Post Rd and the Catskill Aqueduct trace the area's development from colonial corridors to modern infrastructure.
