About this map

The Hudson River dominates this landscape, where the widening Haverstraw Bay separates the riverfront settlements of Rockland and Westchester counties. Along the western shore, the dense street grids of Haverstraw and West Haverstraw are constrained by the rising elevations of High Tor and South Mountain. This geography forced development into a corridor between the river and the highlands, as seen in the placement of the Mount Repose Cem and the Conrail lines that trace the waterfront.

Across the water, prominent landmarks like Croton Point and Tellers Point reach into the river, framing Croton Bay. The interior of the Rockland side shows the suburban evolution of New City and Congers, centered around water bodies like Congers Lake and Rockland Lake. This survey captures the modern alignment of Us Rte 9 W and Albany Post Rd, while preserved sites like Treason Hill and the Rockland County Courthouse mark the enduring civic and historical identity of the region.
