1956 Map of Wappingers Falls
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Hudson River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster Counties, where the water-level tracks of the New York Central railroad skirt the eastern bank. The industrial and institutional character of the era is evident in the presence of the sprawling Matteawan State Hospital and the U S Veterans Hospital near Castle Point. Along the river's edge, heavy industry is represented by the Quarry and Clay Pit operations near Roseton, while the northern reach shows the Childrens Aid Society Camps near New Hamburg.
