Pine Island and the Black Dirt Region
Driving in this region used to be problematic, before this extensive swamp area was drained by brilliant Polish and German engineers to reveal a rich, productive farming region, originally formed 12,000 years ago by a glacial lake. Look for the extensive onion fields and other vegetables. Wawayanda creek, that flows through the Village of Warwick, is part of the river system that drains this region. It flows south and meets Pochuck Creek near the Vernon border, and then turns north and joins the Walkill in Pine Island, on its way into the Hudson around the town of Kingston, NY. |
