About this map

Hudson River Tappan Sea dominates this survey, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by industrial growth and engineering. On the eastern shore, the State Prison at Ossining and the complex waters of the Croton River illustrate the era's development, including the massive New Croton Dam and the Croton Lake system. The western shore in Rockland County features distinctive landings and natural landmarks like High Tor and Verdrietiege Hook.

Transportation infrastructure is densely mapped, showing the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. and the West Shore R. R. following the riverbanks. Inland, researchers can trace the routes of the Putnam Div., N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. and the Aqueduct, which highlight the vital connection between these suburban townships and the city to the south. Smaller settlements like Samsondale, Congers, and Valley Cottage appear alongside named topographic features such as Buttermilk Hill and Sarles Hill.
