About this map

Monroe and Kiryas Joel anchor this 2010 study of Orange County, where suburban development meets the steep gradients of the Hudson Highlands. The landscape is defined by a series of glacial water bodies, from the prominent Mombasha Lake and Walton Lake to smaller basins like Shadowmere Lake and Orange Rockland Lake. Transportation corridors dominate the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where the Ramapo River valley carries both rail lines and major roadways through Arden and Harriman.

Local history is preserved in the naming of topographical and cultural landmarks. The historic industrial roots of the area are evidenced by the Bull Mine on Bull Mine Mountain, while several burial grounds, including Seamanville Cemetery and the Gate of Heaven Cemetery, provide critical reference points for genealogical research. The map also captures several private institutions and recreational camps, such as Thevenet Hall, Camp La Guardia, and Camp Monroe.
