About this map

Green Haven State Prison dominates the central landscape of this 1960 Dutchess County survey, situated just north of the Stormville Airport. The region's mid-century character is defined by a mix of institutional grounds and clustered hamlets like Poughquag and Stormville. The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad cuts through the terrain, connecting these communities and skirting the base of Depot Hill.

Researchers will find a concentration of localized historical data, including the Beekman Sch and multiple spiritual centers such as St Denis Ch and Green Haven Ch. To the east, the Appalachian Trail winds along the ridges above Whaley Lake, illustrating the intersection of recreation and topography. The map also records several camps, including Camp Ludington and Sanita Hills Camp, reflecting the area's legacy as a summer retreat destination near the Putnam County line.
