About this map

Hudson River commerce and industrial sites dominate this mid-century survey of the river's western and eastern banks. On the Greene County side, the village of Coxsackie and its counterpart West Coxsackie serve as anchors, featuring the State Vocational Institution and the landmark Bronck House. The landscape is a mix of agricultural flats and strategic riverfront sites, including Fitchs Wharf and a Lighthouse situated near Middle Ground Flats.

Across the water in Columbia County, the city of Hudson sits south of industrial nodes like Stockport Sta and the Clay Banks near Rossman. The New York Central railroad lines parallel the river, connecting riverside settlements like Newton Hook and Stottville. The map captures a moment when traditional river landings and docks, such as Mill Dock, still marked the shoreline alongside growing residential areas and local institutions like the Coxsackie-Athens Central School.
