1967 Map of Ossining

About this map

Sing Sing Prison anchors the riverfront of Ossining on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, marking a dense corridor of institutional and educational history in the mid-1960s. The landscape is notably defined by major religious and academic campuses, including the sprawling Maryknoll Seminary, Kings College, and Briarcliff College. To the north, the massive New Croton Reservoir dominates the terrain, held by the New Croton Dam and surrounded by the rising elevations of Turkey Mtn and Bald Mtn. This era shows Westchester County as a hub of suburban development interspersed with extensive country clubs like Sleepy Hollow Country Club and specialized industry, such as the Emery Mines near the northern boundary. The Penn Central railroad tracks trace the shoreline, connecting riverside settlements like Scarborough and Croton-on-Hudson to the broader regional network.
