About this map

Pound Ridge and the surrounding Westchester County borderlands appear here as a complex landscape of wooded ravines and historic cemeteries. The terrain is defined by dramatic features like Raven Rocks and the Mianus Gorge, where the Mianus River carves through the landscape. This area is notable for its high concentration of family burial grounds and small community plots, including the Northrup-Caldwell Burial Ground near Lewisboro and the Scofield-Green-Stone Hill Burial Ground.

Settlement patterns follow the winding roads and narrow valleys, with distinct clusters at Scotts Corners, Sellecks Corners, and Sarles Corners. The map also captures the critical water infrastructure of the region, showing the Laurel Reservoir and Trinity Lake alongside numerous smaller bodies such as Mallard Lake and Lake Susan. These features illustrate the area's dual character as both a residential enclave and a vital watershed for the nearby urban centers of Stamford and New Canaan.
