1963 Map of Rock City

About this map

Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome sits near the western edge of this 1963 survey, a notable landmark in the rural landscape between Red Hook and Rhinebeck. The map illustrates a region of small hamlets and seasonal retreats, characterized by a concentration of summer camps like Camp Boiberik and Camp Kanawha Minawha surrounding Silver Lake and Long Pond. These clusters suggest a mid-century era of recreational growth amidst the traditional agricultural terrain of northern Dutchess County.
