1947 Map of Newburgh North

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The northern reaches of Newburgh and its surrounding rural hamlets are captured in this mid-century portrait of Orange and Ulster counties. The landscape is defined by the prominent ridge of Marlboro Mountain and the western bank of the Hudson River, where the Hudson Day Line Pier and industrial facilities like the Sinclair Oil Co Bulk Plant indicate a river-dependent economy. Further inland, the transition from residential clusters like Balmville and Middle Hope to the open waters of Chadwick Lake and Orange Lake highlights a region balancing agriculture, early aviation at Stewarts AAF, and seasonal recreation at the Pine Point Casino. Local life is anchored by a dense network of neighborhood schools and churches, including Mt St Marys Academy and several namesake schoolhouses like Fostertown School and Leptondale School, offering a detailed look at the social geography of the era.
