1951 Map of Pound Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Pound Ridge Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, its wooded hills and hollows like Honey Hollow and Wildcat Hollow standing in contrast to the maturing suburban developments of the New York-Connecticut borderlands. The landscape is defined by its water resources, with massive catchments like Laurel Reservoir, Siscowit Reservoir, and New Canaan Reservoir essential to the regional infrastructure. In the south, the Rippowam River and Mianus River drain toward the coast, winding past institutional landmarks like the Bernardine Convent and the County Farm.
