Overview of the events in the Arnold / Andre saga
Detailed map of the Andre landing site and meeting spot with Arnold
A map from the late 1800s showing the exact spot of the meeting (at the intersection of the long clove road and the "ancient path" that comes up from the docks at the river)
Model of the HMS Vulture, which Andre would ride up from NYC in, and would play a continuous role in the story

Another view of the landing site
A seawall adjacent the landing site. According to an 1899 account, this seawall dates back to the time Andre landed here and he would have seen it as he came ashore
Now Hook Mountain State Park, this is the intersection where Andre and Arnold met. The meeting took place just off the to right, according to testimonies of Joshua Smith, who was present at the time. The Long Clove Road (now long overgrown) comes in from the left
A photo from 1899 showing the "line of Firs" where Andre and Arnold met. Most of the firs have long disappeared and the vegitation in the area has been taken over by invasive species
Probably the exact spot Arnold and Andre met. Its the only flat spot, apart from the road itself. Every other pieces of terrain in the area is very treacherous. This area is about 30' x 50', making it almost certaintly where they spoke through the night
A view of the mountains where Andre and Arnold met, from the Hudson River. The Long Clove Mountain is the shorter peak to the left
Redoubt 4 at West Point. It is located near the modern Px. Arnold wrote to Andre about Redoubt 4: "Redoubt No. 4, a Wooden work about 10 feet high and fore or five feet thick, the West side faced with a stone wall 8 feet high and four thick . No Bomb Proof, two six pounders, a slight Abattis, a commanding piece of ground 500 yards [west]" (This latter description is likely referring to the location of the modern sewage plant that sits on this ground)
