About this map

The steep basalt cliffs of The Palisades dominate the center of this mid-1960s landscape, creating a stark natural divide between the densely developed suburbs of Bergen County, New Jersey, and the urban corridors of Westchester and the Bronx. On the western shore, residential expansion in Englewood, Tenafly, and Bergenfield is framed by the Erie-Lackawanna RR and the Palisades Interstate Parkway. These New Jersey communities maintain a mix of local institutions like Temple Sinai and the Society of African Missions Church, contrasting with the major engineering works like the Oradell Reservoir to the northwest.
