About this map

The West Point Military Reservation dominates the western bank of the Hudson River in this pre-war survey, overlooking iconic landmarks like Constitution Island and Gees Pt. The strategic geography of the Highlands is clear, with defensive sites like Fort Defiance and Fort Hill positioned above the river's narrows. To the east, the landscape transitions into the wooded uplands of Clarence Fahnestock Memorial Park and the engineering works of the Catskill Aqueduct.
