1963 Map of Hudson South

About this map

Hudson River commerce and Hudson Valley estates define this mid-century landscape where Columbia and Greene counties meet. The Hudson city center occupies the northeast, anchored by the Columbia Mem Hospital, while across the water, Catskill rises near the confluence of Catskill Creek and Dubois Creek. This 1963 survey captures a specific era of transportation and preservation, notably featuring the Rip Van Winkle Bridge connecting the two shores and the Olana Historic Site overlooking the river from its perch near Mt Merino.
