1960 Map of Pound Ridge

About this map

Ward Pound Ridge Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, a large expanse of wooded terrain and high ridges like Stone Hill and Raven Rocks. As the New York and Connecticut border winds through the center of the sheet, it separates the evolving suburban tracts of Westchester and Fairfield counties. The area is characterized by its extensive reservoir systems, including the Cross River Reservoir, Trinity Lake, and the Mianus River Reservoir, which illustrate the region's critical role in regional water management during the mid-century.
