2016 Map of Croton Falls

About this map

Croton Falls Reservoir and Muscoot Reservoir dominate this landscape, illustrating the complex hydraulic engineering of the New York City water supply system. The map captures the meeting of Putnam and Westchester counties, where suburban development like Heritage Hills and Lincolndale exists alongside significant industrial infrastructure. The presence of the Delaware Aqueduct and the branching paths of the East Branch and West Branch Croton Rivers reflect a region defined by its role as a watershed. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Ivandell Cem and Union Valley Cem, while the transport corridors of Railroad 3 and Railroad 5 connect settlements like Goldens Bridge and Purdys to the wider metropolitan area.
