1945 Map of Peach Lake

About this map

Peach Lake and the surrounding borderlands of New York and Connecticut appear here during the mid-1940s, showing a landscape defined by significant water bodies and rural hamlets. The town of North Salem sits centrally along the Titicus River, near the Titicus Reservoir which dominates the western edge. To the south, the settlement of Waccabuc is nestled between Lake Waccabuc, Lake Rippowam, and Lake Oscaleta, illustrating the high density of glacial lakes that characterize this portion of Westchester County. Local history is preserved through scattered landmarks like the Peach Lake Meeting House and St Johns Ch, alongside several family-named burial grounds such as Mead Cem and June Cem. The map captures the transition from open hills like Turkey Hill and Titicus Mtn to established lakeside communities and early 20th-century infrastructure, including the Lewisboro Sch and the Pumping Station Swamp.
