About this map

Yonkers and the northern reaches of New York City define this turn-of-the-century landscape, capturing a period of massive infrastructure growth. The city’s water needs are reflected in the prominence of the Old Croton Aqueduct, Catskill Aqueduct, and the Jerome Park Reservoir. Dense rail networks like the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad connect established communities such as Mount Hope and Hastings with the burgeoning urban core.
