About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains define the western geography of this corridor, where the valley floor transitions between Sullivan and Orange counties. The village of Wurtsboro sits at the foot of the ridge, while the Wurtsboro-Sullivan County Airport and the waters of the Basher Kill occupy the lowlands to the east. This landscape is a patchwork of small communities like Bloomingburg, Summitville, and Winterton, connected by historic routes including the Co Rd 172 and Roosa Gap Rd.

Genealogists and local researchers can identify several significant burial grounds, including the Chester Stanton Memorial Cem and Wurtsboro Sylvan Cem. To the south, the terrain softens into the rolling lands of Maple Glen and New Vernon, where the Little Shawangunk Kill and Pakanasink Cr provide the primary drainage. The map reveals a high density of named roads and residential clusters, reflecting the long-standing settlement patterns of the Wallkill region.
