1960 Map of Pound Ridge

About this map

The Ward Pound Ridge Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this borderlands landscape, where the rugged topography of Westchester and Fairfield Counties meets. In the early 1960s, this region was characterized by its sophisticated transition from rural estates to suburban enclaves, anchored by established hamlets like Pound Ridge and Scotts Corners. The map meticulously records the complex water management system of the era, featuring significant catchments such as the Laurel Reservoir, Mianus Reservoir, and Siscowit Reservoir, which define the drainage patterns of the Mianus Gorge.
