1957 Map of Pleasant Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Wappinger Creek flows through a landscape of evolving residential developments and historic rural hamlets in this mid-century survey of Dutchess County. The area east of Poughkeepsie shows significant suburban growth in neighborhoods like Colonial Heights and MacDonnell Heights, yet maintains its agricultural roots in outlying settlements such as Noxon and Billings. Transportation corridors are a defining element of the region, featuring the prominent Taconic State Parkway and various crossings like Stringham Bridge. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the Conrail line reveals the area's industrial transit history alongside newer recreational spaces like James Baird State Park. For the family researcher, the map preserves the locations of vital community institutions, including Beth-El Cem and the LaGrange School, providing a spatial record of the local social fabric before late-20th-century expansion.
