1943 Map of Ossining

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Sing Sing State Prison stands as a prominent landmark on the banks of the Hudson River in this 1943 survey of Westchester County. The landscape is defined by the massive Croton Reservoir to the north and a network of growing suburban settlements connected by the New York Central railroad and the Putnam Division. Educational and religious institutions are numerous, including the Mary Knoll Convent, Briarcliff Junior College, and the Friends Meeting House near Chappaqua. The map illustrates a transitional era where large estates and social clubs like the Sleepy Hollow Country Club and Chilmark Club coexist with concentrated village centers. Local history is preserved in the naming of several crossroads, such as Van Tassells Corners and Buckhouts Corners, while the State Game Refuge occupies a significant tract of interior woodland.
