1943 Map of Haverstraw

About this map

Haverstraw Bay dominates the center of this 1938 survey, marking a significant widening of the Hudson River where industrial and maritime history converge. Along the western shore, the steep slopes of Verdrietege Hook and the Palisades Interstate Park overlook the river, while inland, the settlement of Haverstraw and the New York Reconstruction Home indicate the area's development during the early 20th century. The transportation infrastructure of the era is clearly defined, featuring the New York Central railroad and a section of the Erie (Abandoned) line.
