1960 Map of Glenville

About this map

The boundary between Westchester and Fairfield counties serves as the spine of this mid-century landscape, where the suburban expansion of Greenwich and Port Chester meets the established estates and institutions of Purchase and Riversville. Educational and religious landmarks are prominent, including the sprawling Manhattanville College campus and the Convent of the Sacred Heart. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south ridges and valleys, with Quaker Ridge and Round Hill overlooking a network of water bodies like Rockwood Lake and Putnam Lake. Transportation infrastructure heavily influences the area's character, marked by the curving path of the Merritt Parkway and the sprawling County Airport. Cultural life is centered around numerous private clubs, such as the Blind Brook Country Club and Century Country Club, which occupy large tracts of land between the growing residential clusters of Glenville and Pemberwick.
