About this map

The village of Goshen serves as the focal point of this 1940s survey, showing a well-developed rail and institutional landscape. The Erie railroad and the New York Ontario and Western line intersect near the town center, supporting local industry like Bordens Dairy and the Sewage Disposal Plant. Academic and medical institutions are prominent throughout the area, including the Selesian School, the Interpines Hospital, and Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Academy situated to the south.

Rural Orange County life is documented through smaller hamlets such as Campbell Hall and Scotchtown, while the Wallkill River and Otter Kill dictate the local topography. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Sara Wells Airport east of the village. The inclusion of the Grange Hall and various district schools like Scotchtown School provides essential detail for those researching the mid-century social and economic fabric of the region.
