About this map

The hills and valleys along the New York Connecticut border are defined here by a series of significant reservoirs and country estates during the mid-1950s. The village of Mount Kisco serves as a primary hub, while the Central New York Line railroad facilitates transport through Bedford Hills and toward the New Croton Reservoir. This landscape is particularly dense with civic and social institutions, including several country clubs and the Montefiore Sanitarium.

Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous small burial sites such as the Old Quaker Burial Ground and the Middle Patent (Rural) Cem. The presence of multiple schoolhouses, like the District No 1 Central School and the Wampus Ave Sch, reflects the transition of this area from a rural farming district into a more developed residential and recreational corridor. High points like Mt Aspetong overlook a complex network of waterways, including the Byram Lake Reservoir and Wampus River.
