1951 Map of Pound Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Pound Ridge Reservation and its sprawling network of woodland roads like Honey Hollow Road dominate the northern landscape of this early 1950s survey. The border between Westchester County and Fairfield County bisects a region defined by its hydrography, from the large Trinity Lake and Laurel Reservoir to smaller family-named landmarks like McManus Pond and Gilmore Ponds. This period shows the transition of the Connecticut and New York borderlands into a more settled residential corridor, while maintaining significant institutional and community landmarks such as the Bernadine Convent and Silver Spring Country Club. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain via numerous family burial grounds including Delavan Cem, Hoyt Cem, and Sarles Cem. Small crossroads hamlets like Scotts Corners and High Ridge serve as focal points for a road system that still follows the ridges and valleys of the Mianus and Rippowam drainage basins.
