1902 Map of Schunemunk

About this map

Schunemunk Mountain dominates this landscape, rising above a network of Hudson Valley communities and vital transport lines at the turn of the twentieth century. The map captures the complex rail infrastructure of the era, including the Erie RR and the New York Ontario and Western RR, which connected agricultural and industrial centers like Washingtonville and Highland Mills. Notable industrial sites, such as Bull Mine and Salisbury Mills, appear alongside large-scale infrastructure like the Catskill Aqueduct, illustrating the region's role in supplying resources and water to the growing metropolitan areas to the south.
