1903 Map of Newburgh

USGS Topo · Published 1922

About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains rise prominently in the northwest corner of this turn-of-the-century Hudson Valley landscape, overlooking a complex network of water and rail transport. The Wallkill River serves as a central artery, flanked by the Wallkill Valley Branch and settlements like Walden and Montgomery. Industrial and utility infrastructure of the era is evident through the presence of the Powder Works near the Hudson River and the sweeping paths of the Catskill Aqueduct and New England Aqueduct as they traverse the countryside. To the east, the landscape transitions toward Newburgh and Orange Lake, where the Newburgh Electric Ry. connected the regional population centers. This map captures the region before modern suburbanization, documenting numerous small hamlets such as Ireland Corners, St. Andrew, and New Hurley that defined the early 20th-century character of Ulster and Orange counties.
