About this map

Newburgh and its southern neighboring townships anchor this late-1950s study of the Hudson River's western shore. The landscape is defined by a dense mixture of military, educational, and religious institutions, from the northern airfield at Stewart Air Force Base to the northern edge of the U.S. Military Academy West Point in the Highlands. Significant industrial and transport infrastructure is evident, including the Catskill Aqueduct and a complex rail network featuring the Erie RR and New York Central RR.

Residential growth is centered around Cornwall-on-the-Hudson and New Windsor, while local history is preserved at the Temple Hill Monument and Knox Headquarters. The southern reaches transition into the preserved wildlands of the Storm King Section of the Palisades Interstate Park. Notable local landmarks like the N Y Mil Academy and Epiphany Apostolic College stand alongside numerous cemeteries such as Woodlawn Cemetery, documenting the deep roots of these Orange County communities.
