1948 Map of Pine Plains

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Stissing Mountain dominates the center of this northern Dutchess County landscape, creating a dramatic physical divide between the eastern agricultural valleys and the western hills. In the late 1940s, the area remained deeply rural, defined by a network of small hamlets and local landmarks that speak to an earlier era of self-sufficiency. Settlement clusters like Hammertown, Pachin Mills, and Lafayetteville are shown at their mid-century extent, alongside several rural schoolhouses such as Hunns Lake Sch and Bear Market Sch. The map reveals a transition in settlement patterns, noting both the established hub of Pine Plains and the location of Old Attlebury, providing a clear view of how local roads and communities evolved around water features like Hunns Lake and the winding Wappinger Creek.
