1943 Map of Brewster

About this map

The Croton River watershed dominates this mid-century survey, defined by the massive infrastructure of the Bog Brook Reservoir, East Branch Reservoir, and West Branch Reservoir. These man-made water bodies snake through the landscape of Southeast and Patterson, reflecting the region's critical role in the New York City water supply system. The village of Brewster serves as a local rail hub, situated at the junction where the New York Central and New York New Haven and Hartford lines meet.
