1944 Map of Altamont

About this map

The village of Altamont sits at the base of the Helderberg Mountains, where the Delaware and Hudson railroad cuts through the terrain. This wartime-era mapping illustrates a landscape of high ridges and steep escarpments, notably around the Thacher State Park and the distinctive Indian Ladder cliffside. Educational and religious landmarks are prominent, including the Lasalette Seminary and the village Union Sch, while a network of numbered schoolhouses like School No 12 and School No 13 serve the surrounding rural townships of Knox and Berne.
