1901 Map of West Point

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

The Hudson River carves a deep path through the Highlands in this late nineteenth-century survey, anchoring a landscape of military significance and early industrial reach. West Point dominates the western bank, featuring Ft Putnam and the Lusk Reservoir, while the surrounding heights of Storm King, Crows Nest, and Anthony's Nose define the river's narrow passage. The era's transportation network is clearly defined by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad hugging the eastern shore and the West Shore Railroad on the west, connecting river towns like Cold Spring and Highland Falls.
