2023 Map of Rock City

About this map

Old Rhinebeck Airport stands as a prominent landmark in this portion of Dutchess County, situated just west of Rock City. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Wappinger Creek and the Saw Kill, which drain a terrain of numerous small summits such as Mount Concert, Doty Hill, and Boice Hill. This map reveals a high density of small, family-named burial grounds and churchyards, including the Quaker Burial Ground - Thorpe Cem and Teats Cem, suggesting a long-established rural social fabric. Small hamlets like Wurtemburg, Eighmyville, and Bulls Head are connected by a network of historic roads including White Schoolhouse Rd and Zipfelburg Rd. These settlements often sit near significant water bodies like Sepasco Lake and Silver Lake, reflecting early settlement patterns centered on the county's varied hydrology and well-drained upland hills.
