About this map

Yorktown Heights and the surrounding Westchester County landscape are characterized by a dense network of suburban residential development integrated with agricultural remnants and recreational spaces. The map illustrates the prominence of specialized land use, including the Wilkens Fruit And Fir Farm and Stuart's Fruit Farm, which reflect the area's ongoing agricultural heritage. To the east, the Amawalk Reservoir and the Muscoot River dominate the drainage system, while numerous smaller water bodies like Mohansic Lake and Barger Pond dot the terrain between ridges like Flewellen Ridge and French Hill.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in several distinct burial grounds, such as the Amawalk Hill Cem and the Mahopac Falls Baptist Churchyard. The transition from old rural crossroads like Adams Corners and Crofts Corners to modern transit corridors is evident along the Taconic State Pkwy S. Large-scale recreation sites, including the Mohansic Golf Course and camps like the CYO Camp, underscore the region's role as a retreat from the neighboring urban centers.
