This pictorial map of West Point, New York, presents the United States Military Academy and its surrounding landscape in a lively, illustrative style characteristic of early-to-mid twentieth-century tourist and commemorative cartography. The map is oriented along the dramatic curve of the Hudson River, which forms the eastern boundary and is depicted as both a strategic waterway and a scenic feature, complete with boats, ferries, and shoreline activity.

Academic buildings, parade grounds, barracks, and monuments are shown in simplified but recognizable form, emphasizing West Point’s dual identity as a working military institution and a site of national heritage. The Plain, central to cadet drills and ceremonies, occupies a prominent position, while roads, rail lines, and footpaths connect the campus to nearby villages, forests, and historic sites. Small figures engaged in marching, training, and leisure animate the map, reinforcing the disciplined yet communal life of the academy.

Inset illustrations highlight surrounding wilderness areas and Revolutionary War landmarks, situating West Point within a broader historical and natural context. Decorative borders, a compass rose, and hand-lettered labels enhance the map’s charm while maintaining clarity. Overall, the map functions as both an informative guide and a celebratory portrait, presenting West Point as a place of military tradition, scenic beauty, and enduring national significance.
