1947 Map of Shushan

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Batten Kill waterway winds through this corner of Washington County, defining the valley floor where the Delaware and Hudson railroad links rural hamlets just after World War II. The settlement at Shushan sits as a primary rail point, surrounded by agricultural pockets and named schoolhouses like School No 9 near Lake Lauderdale. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Taconics, marked by Dugway Mountain and the deep cuts of Murray Hollow and McKie Hollow. This 1947 Army Map Service edition captures a landscape still deeply rooted in 19th-century settlement patterns, evidenced by the scattered small-scale cemeteries like Binninger Cem and Camden Cem. Local researchers can trace old crossroads reaching into Vermont and the smaller clusters at Eagleville and Anaquassacook, as well as the marshy expanse of Eldridge Swamp south of the main river bend.
