1951 Map of Glenville

About this map

Westchester County Airport dominates the central landscape of this border region in the early 1950s, surrounded by the suburban estates and institutional grounds that define the area. The map illustrates a high concentration of private clubs and educational institutions, such as Rosemary Hall and the Convent of the Sacred Heart, highlighting the mid-century transition from rural farmland to prestigious residential enclaves. To the west, the massive Kensico Reservoir and its associated Bear Gutter Inlet stand as critical infrastructure for the growing metropolitan region.
