1956 Map of Mohegan Lake

About this map

Mohansic State Park serves as a central landmark in this mid-century landscape, surrounding the waters of Mohansic Lake and Crom Pond. The map reveals a suburbanizing countryside north of the New Croton Reservoir, where local institutions like Loyola Seminary and the Leila Leeds Memorial Chapel are prominent. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south ridges and hills, including Granite Mtn and French Hill, which separate established settlements like Shrub Oak, Jefferson Valley, and Amawalk.
