2016 Map of Popolopen Lake

About this map

Highland Mills and Central Valley anchor the western edge of this Hudson Highlands landscape, where the residential corridors of Woodbury meet the sprawling protected lands of Harriman State Park. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high ridges and glacial lakes, including Popolopen Lake, Stillwell Lake, and Summit Lake. This area serves as a critical junction for historical transit, as the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds over peaks like Stockbridge Mtn and Black Mtn. Local history is preserved at the Cem of the Highlands and Galloways Cem, while the eastern reaches extend toward the military reservation of West Point and the historic settlement of Fort Montgomery. The map reveals how 20th-century road developments like Seven Lakes Dr were carved through a landscape of formidable peaks such as Bear Mtn and The Torne.
