1963 Map of Salt Point

About this map

Wappinger Creek and its tributaries carve through this pocket of Dutchess County, defining a landscape of agricultural valleys and wooded ridges such as Cookingham Hill and Prospect Hill. By the early 1960s, the area remained largely rural, characterized by small hamlet centers like Salt Point, Clinton Hollow, and Hibernia. The map captures a high density of local institutions, including the Netherwood Sch, Westminster Ch, and St Josephs Ch, which served these dispersed farming communities.
