1898 Map of Rhinebeck

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

The Hudson River serves as the dominant artery of this late-19th-century landscape, dividing the riverfront communities of Rhinebeck and Hyde Park from the industrial nodes of Kingston and Rondout on the western shore. The map illustrates a mature transport network where the Hudson River R.R. and West Shore R.R. parallel the water, supporting established estates and trade hubs like Rhinecliff and Staatsburg. Inland, the terrain is characterized by a series of north-south ridges including Berger Hill and Schultz Mt., with numerous kills and creeks such as Landsman Kill and Crum Elbow Creek threading through the agricultural interior. Navigational landmarks like the Rondout Light and Esopus Light mark the river's channel, while smaller settlements like Clinton Corners and Hibernia anchor the eastern rural districts of Dutchess County.
