1899 Map of Stamford

About this map

Stamford and the coastal reaches of Greenwich serve as the southern anchors of this late 19th-century landscape, where the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad connects busy shoreline ports to the metropolitan corridor. The map reveals a transition from the developing coastal harbors at Stamford Harbor and Cos Cob to the interior highlands of Westchester County. Inland, the terrain is defined by a series of north-south ridges and early water infrastructure projects, including the New Croton Res. and Kensico Reservoir.
