About this map

Sing Sing Prison stands prominently on the shores of the Hudson River in this detailed survey of Westchester County's river towns. The post-war era expansion is evident in the dense residential growth of Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, and Pleasantville, while the northern reaches remain defined by the expansive Croton Reservoir and the Taconic State Parkway. This landscape is particularly notable for its concentration of educational and religious institutions, including Maryknoll Seminary, Maryknoll Convent, and several campuses like Kings College and Pace College.

Infrastructure and industry appear throughout the rolling terrain, from the legacy of the Emery Mines and a Quarry near Yorktown to the modern Radio Tower and Substation at Millwood. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of Sparta Cem, Fair Ridge Cem, and Barnum Cem, alongside numerous local schools and community landmarks like the Armory and Village Hall. The Penn Central rail line traces the riverbank, connecting these historic settlements to the broader regional economy.
