2019 Map of Pine Plains

About this map

Pine Plains serves as a central hub in this northern Dutchess County landscape, where the town grid meets the rising slopes of Stissing Mtn. The topography is defined by prominent ridges like Hicks Hill and Conklin Hill, which channel waterways such as Wappinger Cr and Shekomeko Cr through the valleys. The rural character is reinforced by several small, scattered hamlets including Bangall, Hammertown, and Lafayetteville, each linked by a network of historic roads. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies numerous small cemeteries and interment sites, such as the Wirehouse Burial Ground, North East Friends Cem, and the Sutherland - Bear Market Cem. The landscape is also dotted with significant water bodies, from the larger Hunns Lake and Halcyon Lake to smaller features like Wilbur Pond and Lake Geneva, illustrating the region's well-watered agricultural and residential heritage.
