1966 Map of Mount Vernon
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Hutchinson River and Bronx River corridors anchor this mid-1960s study of lower Westchester County and the northern Bronx. This era was defined by the maturation of the regional parkway system, with the Sprain Brook Parkway, Cross County Parkway, and Hutchinson River Parkway cutting through densely settled neighborhoods. These major arteries connect established residential hubs like Mount Vernon, Bronxville, and Tuckahoe, where the landscape is a patchwork of parochial schools and country clubs. Institutional presence is a hallmark of this area, featuring the sprawling Fort Slocum Mil Res on Davids Island and prominent academic grounds such as Sarah Lawrence College and Iona College. Along the Long Island Sound shoreline, the map details complex inlets including Echo Bay and New Rochelle Harbor, alongside numerous small islands and coastal cemeteries like Beechwoods Cemetery.
