1903 Map of Newburg

About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains dominate the northwestern horizon of this Hudson Valley landscape, creating a dramatic topographical backdrop for the agricultural and industrial communities of Ulster and Orange Counties. The Wallkill River serves as the primary drainage artery, winding northward through a valley populated by established settlements like Walden and Gardiner. The presence of the Central New England R. R. and the New York New Haven and Hartford R. R. illustrates the importance of rail transit in connecting these interior towns to the broader region during the early twentieth century.
