1955 Map of Ossining

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Sing Sing Prison and the busy riverfront of Ossining dominate the southwestern shoreline of the Hudson River in this mid-century portrait of Westchester County. The landscape is a mix of dense residential growth and institutional presence, characterized by the sprawling Maryknoll Seminary and Kings College. Further north, the massive engineering of the New Croton Dam holds back the waters of the Croton Reservoir, a critical piece of regional infrastructure. This era captures the suburbs in transition, where established village centers like Briarcliff Manor and Pleasantville are linked by the Taconic State Parkway and the New York Central Railroad. The map also details numerous religious and social institutions, including the Mariandale property and the Edith Macy Camp, set against the backdrop of rising terrain such as Bald Mtn and Turkey Mtn.
