Covers the towns of Yorktown- Newcastle- Bedford- North Castle and Pound Ridge in eastern Westchester County- New York- and the towns of Stamford and Greenwich in Fairfield County- Connecticut. The map itself gives Stamford as "Stanford" and the Mill or Rippowam River as the "Stanford River." It shows roads- buildings and owners' names- also landforms and streams.
