This piece presents a detailed historical map illustrating Croton's appearance in 1872, sourced from the County Atlas of Westchester New York by J.B. Beers & Co. During this period, the village—known as Croton Landing—consisted primarily of residential and commercial structures concentrated along what is now Grand Street, Brook Street, and Riverside Avenue. The map reveals that Riverside Avenue once ran adjacent to the Hudson River's original banks; the area east of the railroad tracks was subsequently filled in. Several notable features appear: a pond-like area between the railroad tracks and Riverside Avenue was eventually filled in. Brook Street, formerly called Upper Landing Road, included a brook now covered over. The label "Friends Ch." marks the Quaker Meeting House location at the Grand Street and Mount Airy intersection. A house labeled "Mrs. Barton" in the triangular section bounded by Old Post North, Brook Street, and Terrace Place remains standing today and is considered Croton's oldest residence.
