1931 Map of Ramapo

About this map

Letchworth Village and the sprawling hills of the Palisades Interstate Park dominate the northern terrain of this Rockland County survey. The landscape transitions from the high peaks of Hogencamp Mtn and Fingerboard Mtn in the west down toward the bustling communities along the Erie RR. This era shows a region of dense water bodies like Lake Tiorati and Sebago Lake contrasting with the rapid development near Spring Valley and Nanuet. Local history is preserved in the placement of landmarks like the Hogan Kamp Mine and the St Anthonys Shrine near Bardonia. The rail network serves as the primary artery for towns like Suffern and Pearl River, while higher elevations maintain a wilderness character punctuated by a Fire Tower and isolated camps such as Summerland Camp.
