1947 Map of Popolopen Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Popolopen Lake and the West Point Military Reservation dominate this landscape, reflecting a region defined by tactical training grounds and massive protected parklands. The presence of the Forrest of Dean mine near Mine Lake points to the area's deep industrial roots, while the sprawling Palisades Interstate Park showcases the mid-century commitment to public recreation. Small residential clusters like Baileytown and Butsontown are tucked between massive peaks such as Bear Mountain and Blackcap Mountain. To the west, the settlements of Highland Mills and Central Valley sit along the creek valleys, contrasting with the high-elevation landmarks like the Perkins Memorial Observatory on the eastern ridges. The map captures a complex network of reservoirs including Lake Frederick and Queensboro Lake, essential for both the military post and surrounding communities.
