1946 Map of Popolopen Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

West Point Military Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this post-war survey, centered on the strategic and recreational waters of Popolopen Lake. The map illustrates a region defined by its rugged topography and industrial history, most notably marked by the Forrest of Dean Mine near Mine Lake. While the northwestern corner shows the growing residential centers of Highland Mills and Central Valley, much of the terrain is dedicated to the preserved wilderness of Palisades Interstate Park. The dense concentration of water bodies, including Lake Tiorati, Lake Menomini, and Upper Twin Lake, highlights the complex watershed that has long served both military training needs at Camp Buckner and public recreation. Small, localized settlements such as Baileytown and Butsontown provide evidence of rural life tucked between significant peaks like Bear Mountain and Stockbridge Mountain.
