1960 Map of Pound Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Ward Pound Ridge Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Cross River Reservoir and Lake Kitchawan frame a terrain defined by narrow ridges and deep hollows like Honey Hollow and Wildcat Hollow. This mid-century survey captures the suburbanizing borderlands between Westchester County, New York, and Fairfield County, Connecticut, just as modern developments began to surround traditional village centers like Pound Ridge and Scotts Corners. The map provides a detailed record of the region's extensive water infrastructure, showing the Mianus Reservoir, Laurel Reservoir, and Trinity Lake which serve the growing coastal population. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of family burial grounds, including the Chichester Cem, Williams Cem, and the Waterbury Mem Cem, offering clues to the area's early settlement history before the arrival of private estates and clubs like the New Canaan Country Club.
