NY 341 was originally designated as part of NY 55 in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. The highway remained part of NY 55 until c. 1934 when that route was realigned to pass through Wingdale on its way to Connecticut. The old routing of NY 55 was renumbered to NY 341, which remained in place until it was removed in the 1940s. The alignment of NY 341 is now maintained by Dutchess County as parts of County Route 67 (CR 67), CR 66, and County Route 67A.
Route description
editNY 341 began at an intersection with NY 22 and NY 55 in the village of Pawling. The highway headed eastward along Quaker Hill Road, exiting the village as it wound its way through a mountainous, undeveloped portion of the town of Pawling. It traversed a hairpin turn at Reservoir Road prior to entering Mizzen Top, a small hamlet 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the Connecticut state line. Here, the route straightened out ahead of a T-intersection with Mizzentop Road. It turned south here, passing by the handful of homes comprising the community before turning back to the east at a junction with Kirby Hill Road and Church Street. Now on Kirby Hill Road, NY 341 proceeded generally eastward over rolling hills to the Connecticut state line, where the NY 341 designation terminated and the right-of-way continued eastward as Wakeman Road towards Sherman.[6]
History
editWhen NY 55 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, it continued east from Pawling to the Connecticut state line via Quaker Hill Road.[7] NY 55 was realigned c. 1934 to follow NY 22 north to Wingdale, where it turned east to follow its current alignment to Connecticut. The former routing of NY 55 east of Pawling became NY 341.[2][3] The NY 341 designation remained in place until the 1940s when it was removed.[4][5] The former routing of NY 341 is now maintained by Dutchess County as CR 67 (for Quaker Hill Road), a short portion of CR 66 (Mizzentop Road) and CR 67A (Kirby Hill Road).[1]
Major intersections
editThe entire route was in Dutchess County.
