About this map

The West Point Military Reservation anchors this high-resolution survey of the Hudson Highlands, centered on the strategic narrows of the Hudson River. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling grounds of the United States Military Academy, where the river takes a sharp turn at Worlds End near Gees Point. This topography reveals the intense concentration of academic and tactical infrastructure at West Point, including Lusk Reservoir, Delafield Pond, and the West Point Cem.

Across the water, the historic river towns of Cold Spring, Nelsonville, and Garrison follow the shoreline and eastern ridges. Significant genealogical and local history markers are visible, from the Old Cold Spring Cem and Nelsonville Cem to the North Highland Cem further inland. The eastern terrain is traversed by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, winding past peaks like Moneyhole Mountain and Round Hill.
