About this map

Pine Island stands as a central settlement in a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and fertile black dirt lowlands. This area of Orange County is shaped by the Wallkill River and the Wawayanda Channel, where the agricultural history is visible through the grid-like patterns of the Durlandville Ditch, McKnight Ditch, and Carr Ditch. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive rises such as Mt Adam and Mt Eve, which overlook the surrounding Vernon Valley.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds including Saint Stanislaus Cem, Saint Josephs Cem, and Stewartstown Cem. The map traces the border between New York and New Jersey, following the southern slopes of Pochuck Mtn and the winding path of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. Smaller hamlets like Edenville, Amity, and Little York are connected by rural corridors like Onion Ave and Pulaski Hwy, reflecting the region's deep-rooted farming heritage.
