About this map

Bedford Hills and Mount Kisco anchor this survey of the suburbanizing borderlands between New York and Connecticut. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management systems, notably the New Croton Reservoir, Byram Lake Reservoir, and Wampus Lake Reservoir, which reflect the region's historical role in supporting metropolitan utility needs. Transportation networks are prominent, including the Metro-North Railroad and the Saw Mill River Pkwy, which facilitated the growth of these residential communities.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered burial sites across the hills, such as the Old Quaker Burial Ground and Middle Patent Rural Cem. Educational and religious institutions like the Yeshiva of Nitra Rabbinical Coll stand alongside named ridges such as Chestnut Ridge and Chestnut Ridge. The map captures the dense concentration of private estates and ponds, like Converse Lake and Windmill Lake, that characterize the high-country border near Stamford.
