About this map

Pine Bush sits at the nexus of several small settlements and natural watercourses where the borders of Ulster, Orange, and Sullivan counties converge. The drainage of the Shawangunk Kill and the Dwaar Kill defines the local topography, creating a series of marshes and stream beds that have historically shaped the layout of local roads and farmsteads. To the south, the Wallkill River flows toward the village of Montgomery, passing the Orange County Airport.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as the Crawford Cem near Thompson Ridge and the Howell Cem north of Searsville. The map detail includes smaller hamlets like Bullville, Collabar, and Ulsterville, each connected by a network of rural routes that cross the Manayunk Kill and Muddy Kill. Landmarks like the Harrison Meeting House Cem provide specific points of reference for those tracing early regional heritage along the Wallkill Valley.
