About this map

Newburgh and New Windsor dominate the southeastern riverfront in this mid-century survey, showing the urban transition from the Hudson River banks toward the rising slopes of Cronomer Hill. The landscape is a mix of established city blocks, institutional grounds like Our Lady of Hope Seminary, and recreation sites including the Powelton Country Club and the Pine Pt Casino on the shores of Orange Lake.

Northward, the New York State Thruway cuts a modern path through older rural hamlets such as Plattekill and Rossville. The map captures a high density of local landmarks, from the Union Grove Sch to several religious sites like Our Lady of Fatima Ch and St Mary of the Angels Camp. Significant water features like Chadwick Lake and the Gidneytown Creek drainage define the inland topography beneath the shadow of Marlboro Mountain.
