About this map

Croton Falls and the surrounding Westchester and Putnam County borderlands are defined by a complex network of reservoirs and water infrastructure. This landscape is dominated by the Croton Falls Reservoir, Muscoot Reservoir, Titicus Reservoir, and the Cross River Reservoir, which along with the Delaware Aqueduct serve the region's historical water management needs. The settlement pattern follows the Croton River and its various branches, with established communities like Mahopac, Purdys, and Katonah situated between the hills.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous burial grounds such as Saint Josephs Cem, Ivandell Cem, and Union Valley Cem. The presence of Mount Zion church and family-named landmarks like Harvey Birch Hill and Watermelon Hill reflect the deep-rooted community structure of this area. The terrain transitions from the residential developments of Heritage Hills and Shenorock to the prominent ridges of Flintlock Ridge and Stone Hill, illustrating the enduring balance between human settlement and the preserved watershed lands.
