About this map

Stewart International Airport anchors the northwestern corner of this Hudson Highlands landscape, a region where dense suburban development meets the steep, wooded slopes of the Appalachian range. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the area, from the sprawling Lake Washington and Beaverdam Lake to the high-elevation catchments of Aleck Meadow Reservoir and Sphagnum Pond. Significant residential expansion is evident across New Windsor and Vails Gate, while the southern reaches remain dominated by the massive ridge of Schunemunk Mtn.

The industrial and transit history of the Hudson River is reflected in the clustered settlements of Cornwall-on-Hudson and Cornwall Landing, positioned beneath Deer Hill. Historic crossings and community markers are preserved in labels like the Idlewild Creek Bridge and numerous local burial grounds including Pleasant Hill Cem and Woodlawn Cem. The terrain rises sharply toward the south, where Black Rock and Mt Misery overlook a network of seasonal streams and ponds.
