2019 Map of Wappingers Falls

About this map

The Hudson River carves a deep path through this landscape, separating the communities of Beacon and Fishkill from the western shores of Marlboro and Roseton. This contemporary survey reveals a densely developed river corridor where industrial history and modern infrastructure meet, anchored by the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. Settlement patterns follow the rugged topography of the Beacon Hills and Verplanck Ridge, while historical burial grounds like the First Reformed Protestant Dutch Cem and Saint Joachims Cem reflect the area's long-standing genealogical roots. The waterway itself remains the central character, defined by landmarks such as Danskammer Point and the confluence where Wappinger Creek flows past New Hamburg. Transportation networks are prominent, from the historic Albany Post Rd to the more recent Merritt Blvd corridor, illustrating the continued evolution of this Hudson Valley hub.
