About this map

The Hudson River corridor serves as the primary artery for this late 19th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its riverine and rail economy. Navigation and transport are central, marked by the complex chain of islands including Bronk Id., Hotaling Id., and the navigational beacon at Light House Id.. Along the western shore, the West Shore R.R. connects established river towns like Coxsackie and New Baltimore, while the eastern bank features the Albany & Hudson Electric R.R. near Stottville.

Moving inland into the hills of Greene Co., the terrain becomes more varied with landmarks like Potuck Hill and Indian Ridge. Small crossroads and post offices, such as Stephensville Alcove P.O. and Place Corner, dot the landscape. The survey captures a specific moment when heavy industry and transit followed the natural grades of the Catskill Creek and the ancient route of Kings Road, before modern highway development reconfigured these rural hamlets.
