About this map

The Hudson River and Tappan Zee form the western boundary of this Westchester County landscape, defined in the late 1960s by a dense network of suburban development and parkways. Institutional land use is prominent, notably the massive cemetery complexes including Gate of Heaven Cemetery and Kensico Cemetery near Valhalla. The map documents the high-growth corridor between Tarrytown and White Plains, connected by the Cross Westchester Expressway.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the varied institutions of the era, from Marymount College and The Masters Sch to the Westchester Penitentiary and Grasslands Hospital. Traditional landmarks like the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and Kykuit Hill stand alongside modern infrastructure like the Tappan Zee Bridge and the Penn Central rail lines. The terrain is marked by significant water features such as the Kensico Reservoir and smaller local landmarks like Woodlands Lake.
