1944 Map of Shushan

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Batten Kill winds through the heart of this mid-century landscape, anchoring the valley settlements of Shushan and Eagleville. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, where the New York-Vermont border cuts through the heights of Dugway Mountain and Buck Hill. Local life in the 1940s is traced through a system of rural district schools, such as School No 9 and School No 11, which served the scattered farming communities of The Plains and Ash Grove. Transport is dominated by the Delaware and Hudson corridor, which follows the lowlands near the Owl Kill. Notable landmarks include the distinctive Eldridge Swamp and family burial sites like Binninger Cem, providing deep genealogical texture to this pocket of Washington County. The transition from the fertile Batten Kill valley to the heights of Snake Ridge illustrates the historic relationship between the region's topography and its early settlement patterns.
