About this map

Esopus Creek winds through the heart of this Hudson Valley landscape, meeting the Hudson River at the industrial and residential hub of Saugerties. This mid-century survey reveals a corridor defined by religious and educational institutions, from the Assumptionist Fathers Monastery and Dominican Sisters Convent on the western shore to the expansive grounds of Bard College at Annandale-on-Hudson to the east.

Transportation networks including the New York Central railroad and the New York State Thruway parallel the river, connecting historic settlements like Malden-on-Hudson and Tivoli. Cultural landmarks are prominent, notably the Birthplace of Robert Livingston within Clermont State Park. The map documents the varied riverfront geography of Tidal Flats and islands such as Magdalen Island and Cruger Island, alongside smaller communities like Glasco and Glenerie.
