About this map

Hudson River shipping and industry dominate this mid-century landscape where the New York Central railroad parallels the eastern shore. The confluence of Esopus Creek at Saugerties serves as a focal point for settlement, flanked by the sprawling Tidal Flats and Green Flats. To the east, the historic estates of Red Hook and the Clermont State Park grounds preserve the legacy of the local landed gentry, including the Birthplace of Robert Livingston.

Religious and educational institutions are deeply woven into the local geography, from the Bard College campus at Annandale-on-Hudson to several cloistered sites like the Carmelite Sisters Convent and the Assumptionist Fathers Monastery. Industrial activity is evident in the west, where Stone Crushers and a Gravel Pit near Mt Marion indicate the continued importance of the region's natural resources alongside the developing New York State Thruway.
