1960 Map of Pine Plains

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Stissing Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Dutchess County region, rising sharply between the valleys of Shekomeko Creek and Wappinger Creek. The 1960 revision shows a sophisticated network of small settlements and agricultural infrastructure, from the village of Pine Plains and its Church of the Regeneration to the outlying hamlets of Lafayetteville and Bangall. The map captures a transition in land use, where family-named landmarks like Hicks Hill and Conklin Hill stand near expanding recreation sites like Halcyon Lake and Hunns Lake. To the north, the industrial history of the area is represented by Pachin Mills and the Gravel Pit near Stissing, while the Lookout Tower atop the main ridge suggests the forest management practices of the mid-20th century. The intricate placement of Evergreen Cem and other small burial grounds provides essential coordinates for those tracing local family lineages in the townships of Milan and Stanford.
