1957 Map of Pleasant Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Wappinger Creek winds through a landscape of mid-century suburban expansion and established rural hamlets in central Dutchess County. The mid-1950s terrain reveals a mix of residential developments like Colonial Heights and Timothy Heights alongside traditional centers such as Pleasant Valley and Lagrangeville. A distinct era of infrastructure is visible in the route of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad and the State Parkway, while the Old Railroad Grade indicates shifts in the local transit network. Local history is anchored by sites like the Beth-El Cem, Overlook Sch, and James Baird State Park. An unusual level of detail is provided by the inclusion of unchecked fence and field lines, offering a rare look at the fine-grained property boundaries and agricultural partitions that defined the area during this period.
