About this map

The hamlets of Poughquag and Stormville anchor this southern Dutchess County landscape, characterized by a mix of residential corridors and significant water bodies. In the east, the sprawling Whaley Lake and Little Whaley Lake are central features, surrounded by summer camps such as Sanita Hills Camp. The terrain is shaped by prominent heights like Depot Hill and Pawling Mountain, which separate the valley drainage of Whaley Lake Stream from the lowlands to the west.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved family and parish burial sites, including the Flagler Cem and the Ballard Ground Cem near Ludingtonville. The presence of the Stormville Airport and the Stormville Rest Area along the interstate corridor highlights the area's role as a modern transit hub, while older routes like Old Route 55 and Old Route 52 hint at earlier thoroughfares that connected these rural New York settlements.
