2010 Map of Pine Plains

About this map

Stissing Mountain and Little Stissing Mountain anchor the central landscape of this Dutchess County region, creating a natural divide between the water systems of Wappinger Creek and Shekomeko Creek. The settlement pattern follows these lowlands, with the village of Pine Plains serving as a primary hub near Evergreen Cemetery and the northern waters of Stissing Pond. The area is characterized by a high density of named family and local landmarks, from Pachin Mills and Hammertown in the north to the southern hamlets of Bangall and McIntyre. Genealogists may find value in the specific road network names like Strever Farm Rd and Conklin Hill Rd, which reflect the long-standing agricultural heritage of the valley. Significant water bodies including Hunns Lake, Thompson Pond, and Halcyon Lake are preserved here alongside the path of the Taconic State Pkwy along the western edge.
