About this map

Saint Paul's Church National Historic Site stands as a focal point in this densely developed corridor of Westchester and the Bronx. The landscape is a complex network of established neighborhoods and major transit arteries, including the Metro-North rail line and the Hutchinson River Pkwy. From the banks of the Hudson River at Dobbs Ferry and Hastings-on-Hudson to the inlets of the Long Island Sound, the area is defined by its transition from urban density to suburban residential tracts like Crestwood Gardens and Lawrence Park. This survey illustrates the intricate social infrastructure of the mid-20th century, marking numerous religious and educational institutions such as Saint Josephs Seminary Dunwoodie and Iona College. The coastline along Echo Bay reveals a scattered archipelago of islands, including Glen Island and Davids Island, which separate the mainland from the open waters of the sound.
