About this map

The Westchester Co Fairfield Co line anchors this study of the suburbanizing border between New York and Connecticut. Following 1971 revisions, the landscape shows the rapid expansion of residential and institutional development, particularly around the campus of Manhattanville College and major medical centers like St Lukes Hospital. Large tracts of land remain dedicated to country clubs and schools, such as the Convent of the Sacred Heart and the Blind Brook Country Club, highlighting the region's mid-century character as an affluent residential corridor.

Transportation networks define the terrain, from the Merritt Parkway to the sprawling County Airport. These modern corridors contrast with older landmarks like the Quaker Ridge Cem and the winding course of the Byram River. The map meticulously details the evolution of settlements like Riversville and Pemberwick, where the transition from rural estates to high-density neighborhoods is visible in the purple-tinted urban extensions of Port Chester and Greenwich.
