1910 Map of Greenwood Lake

About this map

Greenwood Lake serves as the centerpiece for this rugged borderland region during a period of significant industrial and infrastructural development. Stretching across the New York New Jersey Boundary Line, the terrain is defined by the steep ridges of Bearfort Mountain and Wawayanda Mountain, which separate valley settlements and critical water resources. The map documents an era when the iron industry still left a heavy imprint on the land, evidenced by the numerous excavations such as the Hope Mine, Peters Mine, and Williams Mine.
