This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

  • Precambrian and Paleozoic Geology of the Hudson Highlands
    41 PRE-CAMBRIAN AND PALEOZOIC GEOLOGY OF THE HUDSON HIGHLANDS Kurt E. Lowe The City College Trip D Introduction The route of Trip D crosses the Hudson Highlands northwestward (perpen­ dicular to the structural trend) affording opportunities of studying the petrology, structure and geomorphology of the Pre-Cambrian crystallines. It then turns northeastward to reach the northern gateway of the Hudson gorge at Cornwall-on­ Hudson by following the belt of early Paleozoic sediments along the northwest border of the Highlands. These sediments and their structural relations to the Highlands crystallines are briefly examined in the field. The return leg of the trip again eros !!Ie s the Highlands (this time oblique to the structure) along the west side of the Hudson gorge to Bear Mt., where it crosses the Ri~er to Peekskill. The reader is referred to Lowe (1949, 1950) from which much of the following information has been extracted. The Hudson Highlands The Highlands are a chain of low, but rugged, mountain ranges extending about 140 miles from Reading, Pa. northeastward through northern New Jersey and southeastern New York into western. Connecticut. They are mostly Pre­ Cambrian crystallines, representing an ancient orogenic belt of Grenville (? ) sediments which were folded, faulted, metamorphosed and invaded by several igneous phases (Plate 1). The Hudson Highlands, a rather loose geographical term, refers to that portion of the mountain chain which lie s athwart the Hudson River in New York State. Geomorphology Geomorphically the Highlands are known as the Reading Prong of the New England Upland. In view of the long, continued exposure of the Highlands to subaerial erosion (perhaps since early Mesozoic times) present topographic features exhibit the effects of structural and lithologic control to a high degree.

In a two-dimensional viewing, it is difficult to visualize the direction in which water naturally flows. A watershed map serves the purpose of identifying the direction in which all surface waters flow within a specific land area to a waterbody. Highpoints, such as ridges, mountains, and hills, form the typical dividing lines of watersheds and represent the point from which all water flows downward. Watersheds may be further divided into the smaller drainage areas, known as subwatersheds. Because municipal boundaries rarely follow watersheds, working in a watershed context requires communication and coordination between multiple municipalities. Maintaining healthy watersheds is important because they provide critical natural services that sustain and enrich our daily lives, such as plentiful and safe drinking water.

  • Fort Montgomery: Fortification on the Hudson and Threatened Historic Site
    Middle States Geographer, 2010, 43: 85-95 FORT MONTGOMERY: FORTIFICATION ON THE HUDSON AND THREATENED HISTORIC SITE Andrew D. Lohman Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering United Sates Military Academy West Point, New York, 10997 ABSTRACT: In its short history, both as a Revolutionary War fortification and a state historic site to commemorate that role, Fort Montgomery has been a contested place. Built to protect the American’s first efforts to chain the Hudson River during the War for Independence, Fort Montgomery was attacked, captured, and destroyed by the British within two years of its construction. In 2002, after years of effort by historical groups, Fort Montgomery opened to the public as a state historic site to celebrate the history and cultural heritage of the Hudson Valley region. Yet once again, this site has become a contested place as budget shortfalls within New York State threaten its future.
