About this map

Bedford Hills and Mount Kisco anchor this mid-century landscape where suburban expansion meets institutional landmarks. The northern reaches are dominated by the New Croton Reservoir, while the central terrain features significant water bodies like Byram Lake Reservoir and Wampus Lake Reservoir. A notable local landmark is the Montefiore Sanatorium, situated near the Penn Central rail line that served as a vital transportation artery through Westchester County.

The map records a transition in land use, showing established country clubs like Whippoorwill Country Club alongside educational sites such as the District No 1 Union Free Sch. Local religious life is mapped through numerous parish sites, including St Francis Ch and St Matthews Ch. The presence of small settlements like Middle Patent and Banksville near the New York-Connecticut border illustrates the rural-suburban character of the region during this era.
