1958 Map of Peach Lake

About this map

Peach Lake sits at the northern edge of this landscape, its shores developed with a high density of structures reflecting the area's mid-century growth as a residential and seasonal retreat. The region is characterized by a series of parallel ridges, including Peach Lake Ridge and Scott Ridge, which channel the various lake systems that define the border between New York and Connecticut. Cultural landmarks such as the Peach Lake Meetinghouse and St Johns Ch in North Salem anchor the older settlement patterns. Further south, the map reveals a transition into the more protected lands of the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation and the clusters of Twin Lakes Village. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named sites like June Cem and Mead Cem, alongside historic school locations like the Township Sch.
