About this work
Sketched map of the area around the town of Saugerties, New York. With the upper portion of the composition facing east, the wide, undulating, horizontal band at center represents the Hudson River, while its perpendicular arm at lower center is Esopus Creek, which bends to the south. Saugerties is located on both sides of the creek, on the shore of the Hudson River. People and place names inscribed throughout.
