2016 Map of Verbank

About this map

Verbank Village and the surrounding township of Union Vale are defined by a complex drainage network where Sprout Creek and Fishkill Creek cut through the high ridges of Dutchess County. This 2016 survey shows a landscape of long-standing hamlets, including Moores Mill and Clove Valley, connected by a network of historic county roads. The eastern terrain is dominated by Chestnut Ridge and East Mountain, where the Friends Cemetery points to the area's Quaker heritage. Aviation history is represented by Sky Acres Airport, which sits on the elevated plateau west of Dark Hollow. The map provides a detailed look at the rural character of the region, from the wetlands of Pond Gut in the north to the industrial echoes of Furnace Pond in the south, reflecting a transition from early milling and agriculture to modern residential patterns.
