1957 Map of Cornwall

About this map

Newburgh and its southern neighbor New Windsor anchor this mid-century survey along the western bank of the Hudson River. The landscape reflects a mix of suburban growth and deeply rooted local history, marked by the prominent Temple Hill Monument and the Knox Headquarters. The riverfront remains an active corridor for the New York Central and Erie RR, while the interior is defined by the winding course of Moodna Creek and several older manufacturing sites like Salisbury Mills and Orrs Mill. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the highlands of Palisades Interstate Park, where high-elevation reservoirs like Black Rock Reservoir and Bog Meadow Pond provided water for the region. The transition from the dense urban grid of Newburgh to the institutional grounds of the NY Mil Academy and the fringes of the U S Military Academy West Point illustrates the varied roles of this historic river valley during the postwar era.
