1963 Map of Salt Point

About this map

Wappinger Creek and its tributary, Little Wappinger Creek, anchor this mid-century portrait of Dutchess County. The landscape is defined by its small, scattered hamlets and an extensive network of specialized camps, such as Camp Nooteeming and Camp Victory, suggesting the area's role as a seasonal retreat. Local education and faith centers are prominently marked, including the Netherwood Sch and Westminster Ch near Salt Point. The map also captures the early industrial traces of the region, noting numerous Gravel Pits alongside more established settlements like Clinton Corners and Washington Hollow. Family history is reflected in several named landforms, including Cookingham Hill and Dennis Hill, which overlook the winding roads and small lakes that dot the interior hills east of the Hudson River.
