About this map

Green Haven Correctional Facility and the small hamlet of Green Haven occupy the lowlands of Beekman, where the landscape is defined by the intersection of industrial operations and rural summer camps. The mid-century character of this region is shaped by the Conrail rail line and the Stormville Airport, which sit just north of the significant rise of Stormville Mtn. This period shows a high density of organized camps, such as Sanita Hills Camp and Camp Ludington, scattered among numerous water bodies like Whaley Lake and Sylvan Lake. The Appalachian Trail winds through the southern ridges of Fishkill, passing near smaller settlements like Pecksville. Notable local history markers include the Beekman Cem and schools such as School No 1, which reflect the community's early 20th-century development alongside more modern revisions like the sewage disposal and gravel pits.
