1902 Map of Schunemunk

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

Schunemunk Mountain dominates this portion of Orange County, serving as a dramatic physical barrier between the Erie Railroad corridor to the west and the rolling highlands leading toward the Hudson River. In the early 1900s, the region was a complex network of industrial and transport infrastructure, featuring the Catskill Aqueduquct and numerous rail lines like the Central New England RR and West Shore RR. Settlements like Monroe, Washingtonville, and Cornwall on the Hudson served as local hubs, while the southern reaches remained largely undeveloped forest land. Genealogists and industrial historians will find interest in the documented locations of Bull Mine and the Forest of Dean, alongside local landmarks such as St. Lukes Cemetery in New Windsor. The map reveals a transition from the riverfront shipping at Cornwall Landing to the inland agricultural and mining communities.
