1938 Map of Catskill

About this map

The Hudson River serves as the central artery for this 1930s survey, dividing Greene, Columbia, Ulster, and Dutchess counties. The landscape is defined by its deep historical roots and river-based commerce, evidenced by the Birthplace of Robert Livingston near Germantown and numerous riverfront settlements like Malden on Hudson and Smith Landing. The industrial and social infrastructure of the era is well-documented, from the New York Central railroad tracks hugging the eastern shore to the rural school system represented by Schuylerhook Sch and Stone Mill Sch.
