1960 Map of Pine Plains

About this map

Stissing Mountain dominates the center of this landscape, rising above the lowlands where the boundaries of Milan, Pine Plains, and Stanford meet. The settlement of Pine Plains serves as a primary hub in the northeast, featuring the Church of the Regeneration and the Evergreen Cem, while smaller hamlets like Lafayetteville, Attlebury, and Bangall are connected by a network of local roads including Creamery Road and Bullshead Road. The terrain is characterized by a series of distinct water bodies such as Thompson Pond, Stissing Pond, and Hunns Lake, which reflect the glacial history of the Hudson Valley. A Lookout Tower atop the mountain and a Gravel Pit near Old Attlebury point to the area's mix of conservation and local industry during the mid-20th century.
