About this map

The Titicus Reservoir and the glacial lakes of Westchester County and Fairfield County dominate this landscape at the close of the twentieth century. The topography is defined by the steep north-south ridges of West Mountain and Starr Ridge, which have historically channeled settlement into the valleys. Communities like North Salem, South Salem, and Ridgebury are depicted with their established networks of local landmarks, including the Peach Lake Meetinghouse and St Johns Ch.

A notable amount of preserved land appears in the south, specifically within the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation near Boutonville. The map illustrates a high density of water features, from the large expanse of Peach Lake to the smaller Twin Lakes Village corridor between Lake Waccabuc and Lake Rippowam. This area reflects the late-century suburban character of the New York-Connecticut borderlands, where older rural foundations like the Township Sch coexist with twentieth-century residential growth.
