1942 Map of Kingston West

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Ashokan Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, its vast blue waters meeting the rugged slopes of Morgan Hill. In the early 1940s, the region around Kingston shows a complex network of transportation and rural industry, where the New York Central and Western and Ontario railroads serve small communities like West Hurley and Stony Hollow. To the south, the Binnewater Lakes chain—including First Lake, Second Lake, and Third Lake—highlights the watery terrain of Rosendale. This period of wartime development is visible at the Kingston Auxiliary Field and the State Armory, while local infrastructure is anchored by institutions like St Johns Ch and the County Hospital. The map preserves the specific locations of vanishing local landmarks, from the West Hurley RR Station to various district schoolhouses, including Hurley Sch No 4 and the Lower Sawkill School.
