1946 Map of Peach Lake

About this map

Peach Lake Meeting House stands as a focal point in this mid-century survey of the Westchester and Putnam county borderlands. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management systems, notably the Titicus Reservoir and Cross River Res, which dominate the western sections of the map. In these rural New York townships, the settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted community structure, with local landmarks like St Johns Ch, Mead Memorial Chapel, and the Lewisboro Sch serving the surrounding hamlets of North Salem, South Salem, and Salem Center. Genealogical value is found in several burial grounds, including Drews Cliff Cem and June Cem. The terrain is marked by distinct elevations such as Turkey Hill and Titicus Mtn, providing a look at the region's topography before significant post-war suburban expansion altered the character of these northern outskirts.
