The eastern banks of the Tappan Zee and Hudson River anchor this late-century portrait of Westchester County. This densely settled corridor features a series of riverfront villages including Tarrytown, Dobbs Ferry, and Irvington, which are connected to the city by the Metro-North Railroad. Inland, the landscape is defined by massive water management infrastructure and expansive memorial grounds. The Kensico Reservoir and Kensico Dam dominate the northeastern quadrant, while numerous large burial sites like Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and Ferncliff Cemetery reflect the region's long history as a final resting place for the metropolitan area. The presence of Pocantico Hills and Kykuit Hill marks the sprawling estate lands that historically buffered these suburban developments from the rising industrial activity along the river.
