About this map

The Hudson River serves as the central artery for this survey, defining the industrial and residential corridors of Dutchess and Orange Counties. Along its banks, the established settlements of Beacon, Wappingers Falls, and Fishkill anchor the landscape, connected by a dense network of suburban roads and historical landmarks. The infrastructure of the City of New York Delaware Water Supply and the Dutchess County Airport highlights the region's importance as a utility and transportation hub.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local-history data through numerous burial sites like Riverside Cemetery, Cedar Hill Cemetery, and Saint Joachims Cemetery. The map also captures several ridges overlooking the water, including Van Wyck Ridge and Verplanck Ridge, which run parallel to the river. Cultural and social history is further marked by features such as the Van Wyck Homestead and the Childrens Aid Society Camps, illustrating the area's mix of early heritage and 20th-century community development.
