1957 Map of Monroe

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Monroe and Harriman serve as the primary hubs in this late-twentieth-century study of the Hudson Highlands' western edge. The map reflects a landscape in transition, where legacy infrastructure like the Conrail lines and the Orange Turnpike intersect with modern developments such as the Smiths Clove (Museum Village). Significant water bodies dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, including the large Mombasha Lake and the recreational cluster of Round Lake and Walton Lake. The southern reaches are defined by the protected wilderness of Harriman State Park, where the Appalachian Trail winds past Island Pond and over Surebridge Mountain. This survey effectively documents the area's mix of residential growth and conserved open space, showing the proximity of settlements like Arden and Central Valley to the dramatic slopes of Schunnemunk Mountain.
