About this map

The Bronx River and Hutchinson River corridors anchor this 2010 map of Westchester County and the northern Bronx, illustrating a landscape of established suburban density and carefully preserved green space. The extensive grounds of Woodlawn Cemetery and the sprawling Grassy Sprain Reservoir provide significant breaks in the residential fabric, while the presence of the Yonkers Raceway highlights the area's long-standing recreational infrastructure. This era of the New York suburbs is defined by its complex transit network, featuring numerous arterial parkways such as the Sprain Brook Pkwy and Saw Mill River Pkwy.

Genealogists will find interest in the numerous denominational burial sites, from the Quaker Burial Grounds in Larchmont to Saint Pauls Protestant Episcopal Cemetery in Mount Vernon. Along the Long Island Sound, the map details a jagged coastline of inlets and islands including Glen Island, Hunter Island, and Davids Island, showing the modern footprint of coastal New Rochelle and the Premium River estuary.
