1963 Map of Saugerties

About this map

The Hudson River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the Hudson Valley, dividing the steep terrain of Ulster County from the estates and orchards of Columbia and Dutchess Counties. In the village of Saugerties, the confluence of Esopus Creek and the river anchors a landscape shaped by both industry and faith. Evidence of the region's industrial past is visible in the Quarry and Stone Crushers near Mt Marion, while the religious character of the community is marked by the Assumptionist Fathers Monastery and the Dominican Sisters Convent overlooking the water.
