1901 Map of Clove

About this map

Dover Plains and Dover Furnace anchor the eastern valleys of this 1891 survey, where the Harlem Division of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad follows the north-south corridor of the Tenmile River. The map captures a sophisticated network of small agrarian and early industrial hamlets across the borderlands of New York and Connecticut. Settlement patterns are dictated by the deep ridges of Chestnut Ridge and Quaker Hill, with commerce concentrated at junctions like Wing's Station and Crouses Store. To the south, the New York and New England Railroad cuts through Stormville and Green Haven, connecting the hudson highlands to the valleys of Pawling and Patterson. From the shores of Sylvan Lake to the heights of Schaghticoke Mt. on the state boundary, the terrain is dotted with small-scale industries and family-named landmarks like Allen Mt. and Pecksville.
