United States National Park Service Photographs and Slides of the Hudson River Highlands

The series consists of black and white photographs and color (Kodachrome) transparencies of areas of the Hudson River highlands surveyed by the National Park Service in the 1960s. The exact date, extent, or purpose of the survey are unknown, as is any New York State involvement in the work.

The eight photographs measure 3.75 inches by 4.75 inches, are all dated April 1965, and are noted to be prints from negative numbers 6454 through 6463. They depict scenes of the Hudson River around the Storm King Highway, including views of Storm King Mountain, Pollepel Island, Breakneck Point, Little Stony Point, Iona Island, the Bear Mountain Bridge, and the Naval Reserve Fleet opposite Peekskill.

The 20 color slides are identified, but undated, scenes of the Hudson River near Peekskill, Storm King Mountain, and Haverstraw, New York, and of Ausable Chasm.

These records were sent to the State Archives by the National Parks Service's Denver Service Center as a courtesy in August 1983.
