About this map

Yonkers Raceway and the Saint Josephs Seminary and Coll anchor the dense landscape of lower Westchester County in this early 21st-century study. The region is defined by its complex network of parkways and river corridors, where the Hutchinson River and the Bronx River flow southward toward Long Island Sound. This coastal interface is marked by a chain of islands and points, including Davids Island, Huckleberry Island, and Davenport Neck near Echo Bay.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous legacy sites, from the expansive Woodlawn Cem to the Quaker Burial Grounds and Saint Pauls Protestant Episcopal Cem. The map illustrates the historic transition from rail to road, with the New York Central RR running parallel to established neighborhoods like Bronxville and Tuckahoe. Notable educational landmarks such as Sarah Lawrence Coll remain prominent within this established suburban and urban fabric.
