About this map

The East Branch Reservoir and Bog Brook Reservoir dominate this 1950s landscape, illustrating the critical role of the Croton River system in regional water management. The village of Brewster serves as a central hub, where the Penn Central railroad lines converge near the commercial center. The map reveals a dense network of named intersections, such as Haines Corners, Sears Corners, and Steinbeck Corners, which point to a long-established pattern of rural settlement along the New York and Connecticut border.

Industry and local life are reflected in features like the Titicus Min and the Gerow Millpond, while genealogy researchers can locate the Milltown Cem and several community landmarks including the King St Ch. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Joes Hill and Brewster Hill, which separate the various lake and reservoir basins that define the character of Southeast and Patterson during this era.
