1951 Map of Pound Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Pound Ridge Reservation and the surrounding borderlands of Westchester County and Fairfield County are meticulously detailed in this early 1950s survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrography, featuring major catchments like the Laurel Reservoir, Trinity Lake, and the winding Stone Hill River. Settlement patterns are concentrated at crossroads such as Scotts Corners and Sellecks Corners, while the backcountry is dotted with small family burial grounds including the Knapp-Barhite Cem and Hoyt Cem. The map illustrates a transitional era for the region, where older institutional landmarks like the Bernardine Convent and County Farm exist alongside the developing residential outskirts of New Canaan. Local genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of numerous small church and cemetery locations, such as St Pauls Ch and the Long Ridge Union Cem, which anchor the early identity of these hill towns.
