1903 Map of Newburgh

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Shawangunk Mountains and the Marlboro Mountains frame a busy agricultural and industrial corridor at the turn of the twentieth century. The Wallkill River flows northward through the heart of the region, powering the development of settlements like Walden and Wallkill. Near the city of Newburgh on the Hudson River, the presence of the Powder Works and the Newburgh Electric R. R. reflects a landscape in transition toward early industrialization. Further inland, the map captures a network of small farming hamlets and family-named localities such as Clintondale, Ardonia, and Coldenham. This survey is particularly notable for its detailed tracing of numerous railroads, including the Wallkill Valley R. R. and the New York Ontario and Western R. R., which were vital to the movement of dairy and goods from the Shawangunk Valley to urban markets.
