1955 Map of Ossining

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Ossining waterfront and the massive Sing Sing Prison anchor the western edge of this mid-century Westchester County survey. This period of the 1950s captures a landscape of institutional growth and suburban transition, where estates and religious retreats like the Maryknoll Seminary and the Danish Home for the Aged sit alongside developing residential centers. The New York Central railroad corridor facilitates movement between the riverfront and the interior, while the New Croton Reservoir dominates the northern terrain, managed by the New Croton Dam. Further east, the village of Chappaqua and the wooded heights of Pleasantville show the influence of the Taconic State Parkway and Saw Mill River Parkway. This sheet is particularly rich in local institutional history, documenting landmarks such as the Jennie Clarkson Society Home and the State Game Refuge.
