OUTLET OF THE FISHKILL CREEK. 



The Fishkill Creek is a small but pretty stream, rising nearly 

 in the centre of Dutchess County, New York, and after flowing 

 a distance of nearly thirty miles, in a south-western direction, 

 falls into the Hudson River about two miles below Fishkill 

 Landing, a small village on the Hudson, opposite to Newburg. 



In the view may be seen, on the opposite side of the river, a 

 portion of New Windsor, a small straggling place, three or four 

 miles south of Newburs. In the blue distance the dim outline 

 of a mountain presents itself: this is called Schonemock or 

 Skoonemuck Mountain, a lofty spur of the Alleghanies, situated 

 in the western part of Orange County, at a distance of more 

 than twenty miles from the Hudson River. 



On Fishkill Creek, about one mile from the Hudson, is 

 the manufacturing village called Matteawan, where there are 

 several factories in successful operation. It is a neat and 

 pretty place at the foot of the Fishkill Mountains, containing 

 a population of nearly two thousand inhabitants.
