About this map

Salt Point and the surrounding Dutchess County countryside appear as a landscape of agricultural tradition and modern conservation. This 2010 survey highlights the established orchards and vineyards that define the local economy, such as Breezy Hill Orchard, Terhune Orchards, and Clinton Vineyards. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Wappinger Creek and its tributaries, including Little Wappinger Creek and Great Spring Creek, where small hamlets like Clinton Hollow and Clinton Corners serve as historic focal points.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Crum Elbow Cemetery and Upton Lake Cemetery, as well as the numerous family-named landmarks like Barnes Hill and Dennis Hill. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Taconic State Parkway, which connects these rural communities. Notable recreational and community spaces, including Camp Nooteeming on the shores of Nooteeming Lake and Camp Victory near Victory Lake, reflect the area's long-standing role as a retreat and educational center.
