1957 Map of Clintondale

About this map

The Wallkill River winds through the northwestern corner of this Hudson Valley landscape, where the growing campus of the State Teachers College anchors the village of New Paltz. In the mid-1950s, the newly constructed New York State Thruway cuts a modern path north-to-south, bypassing older settlements and altering the rural character of orchards and family farms. This infrastructure stands in contrast to the established agricultural corridor served by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which passes through Clintondale Sta.
