1955 Map of Mount Kisco

About this map

Mount Kisco serves as a primary hub of development in this mid-century landscape, where the Central New York rail line parallels the Saw Mill River Parkway to the north. The area is defined by a series of significant water bodies, from the New Croton Reservoir in the northwest to the large Byram Lake Reservoir at the center. Cultural and institutional landmarks are prevalent throughout, including the Montefiore Sanitarium and the Bedford Rippowam Sch. The eastern portions of the map toward Bedford and Banksville show a transition toward large private estates and recreation, evidenced by the Bedford Golf and Tennis Club and Middle Patent Golf Course. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites of interest, ranging from the large Oakwood Cem to the secluded Old Quaker Burial Ground near the Connecticut border.
