About this map

The Hudson River serves as the central divide in this detailed portrait of suburban growth and industrial infrastructure on the New York-New Jersey border. On the eastern shore, the dense urban corridors of Hastings-on-Hudson and Yonkers transition into the Bronx neighborhoods of Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil. This side is marked by significant engineering feats, including the New Croton Aqueduct and Old Croton Aqueduct, alongside the sprawling Van Cortlandt Golf Course.

Across the water, the dramatic verticality of The Palisades defines the New Jersey landscape, home to the Palisades Interstate Pkwy N and a string of residential boroughs like Alpine, Closter, and Cresskill. The map reveals the area's rich local history through sites like the Cooke Family Cem and Mount Saint Vincent, while the western edge is dominated by the Oradell Reservoir and the Hackensack River headwaters.
