About this map

The Batten Kill river defines the industrial and agricultural rhythm of this Washington County landscape, winding past the mill towns of Battenville and Center Falls. This 1944 survey captures the region's mid-century character, where the Greenwich and Johnsonville railroad parallels the river, connecting Greenwich to the surrounding hills. To the south, the village of Cambridge serves as a local hub, anchored by the Mary McClellan Hospital and the nearby Woodland Cem.

The terrain transitions from the lowlands of Owl Kill and White Creek into prominent elevations like Mt Colfax and Redstone Ridge. Small rural crossroads such as Archdale, Coila, and Fly Summit are clearly mapped alongside local landmarks like the Cary Sch. Water bodies including Hedges Lake and Lake Lauderdale highlight the area's transition into a recreational landscape while maintaining its deep-rooted rail and farming infrastructure.
