Bronx Map 1867

Source: Westchester County Archives. This map dates from when the Bronx was still part of Westchester County, before it was incorporated into New York City and before the Williamsbridge Reservoir was built at center top below Wood Lawn Cemetery, where it says "Williams" at the upper right corner of the pink part. Jerome Park to its left was not yet a reservoir either; it was a race track. West Farms and Morrisania were villages of Westchester County. Yonkers evidently extended much further south than it does today.
