About this map

The Hudson River carves a deep path through this Highlands corridor, anchoring the military and industrial geography of the region. On the western shore, the grounds of West Point dominate the bend at Worlds End, looking across to Constitution Island and the marshes of Foundry Cove. This 2010 survey highlights the complex topography surrounding Cold Spring and Nelsonville, where the land rises sharply toward peaks like Bull Hill and South Beacon Mountain.

Infrastructure like the Catskill Aqueduct snakes through the valley, tracing the historical development of New York's water system. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Old Cold Spring Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery. From the riverfront at Arden Point to the high reaches of Scofield Ridge, the map documents a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and long-standing riverside settlements.
