About this map

Nyack and the surrounding villages of South Nyack, Upper Nyack, and Central Nyack dominate the western shore of the Tappen Zee in this modern topographic study. The landscape is a mix of dense residential development and significant historical sites, including several major burial grounds like Oak Hill Cemetery and Rockland Cemetery. The Tappan Zee Bridge serves as the primary artery across the water, connecting the Rockland County communities to Dobbs Ferry on the opposite bank.

Industrial and scientific footprints are evident at the West Nyack Trap Rock Quarry and the Lamont Observatory near Palisades. To the south, the state line between New York and New Jersey cuts through a series of tightly clustered boroughs, including Northvale, Rockleigh, and Old Tappan. Natural features such as Hook Mountain and Tallman Mountain frame the riverfront, while the Hackensack River feeds into DeForest Lake, illustrating the region's managed water systems and complex local geography.
