About this map

Schunemunk Mountain dominates the center of this 1930s landscape, serving as a divider between the industrial river towns of the Hudson River and the agricultural settlements to the west. The area's complex transportation network is clearly defined by the Erie RR and New York Ontario and Western RR, which supported local economies in places like Salisbury Mills and Harriman. Further east, the rugged terrain of the West Point Military Reservation is dotted with high peaks like Bear Mtn and Mt Misery.

Local history and industry are recorded through features such as the Bull Mine and Deyo Mill, while rural life is captured by the locations of many district schools, including Huston Sch and Bethlehem Sch. Large water bodies like Lake Tiorati and Mombasha Lake are shown alongside the early automotive corridor of Seven Lakes Drive, indicating the region's early 20th-century character as both a manufacturing hub and a developing recreational retreat.
