1955 Map of Mount Kisco

About this map

The hills of northern Westchester County and the Connecticut borderlands are defined here by a network of suburban expansion and institutional landmarks during the mid-20th century. Residential clusters at Stanwood and Bedford Hills sit alongside major transit corridors like the Saw Mill River Parkway and the Penn Central rail line. The landscape is notably punctuated by large-scale properties such as the Montefiore Sanatorium and Seven Springs Farm, reflecting an era of transition from rural estates to more structured community planning. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the New Croton Reservoir in the north and the centrally located Byram Lake Reservoir. Local education and community life are represented by several historic school districts, including the District No 1 Central School, while private recreation is seen at the Mount Kisco Country Club and the Bedford Center and Tennis Club.
