==Geography== [[Image:Dobbsferry2.jpg|right|300px|thumb| Dobbs Ferry, New York]] Dobbs Ferry is located at {{Coord|41|0|46|N|73|51|58|W|type:city}} (41.012729, β73.866026).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the village has a total area of {{convert|3.2|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|2.4|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|0.7|sqmi}}, or 23.03%, is water. The village is bounded on the west by the [[Hudson River]], and on the east by the [[Saw Mill River]]. Wickers Creek (name derived from the indigenous [[Weckquaesgeek]]) runs east to west through the center of the village from its main source in the Juhring Nature Preserve, Todd's Pond. The village consists of a series of neighborhoods as defined in the 2010 Vision Plan, the [[Comprehensive planning|Master Plan]] for the village. These neighborhoods are not popularly recognized as of 2014. As the Vision Plan states, "Sometimes the boundaries of these neighborhoods are clearly defined, but other times less so. Where necessary, boundaries have been interpolated." The neighborhoods are: Springhurst Park, Broadway, Wickers Creek, Waterfront, Old Town, Fairmead, Riverview Manor, Villard, Osborne, Belden, Maple, Walgrove, Virginia, Beacon Hill, Campuses and Woods, Parkway, Southfield, Knoll, Northfield, and Juhring. (Homes in Juhring are commonly referred to by real estate brokers as part of the Ardsley Park neighborhood, which encompasses the Juhring neighborhood in Dobbs Ferry and the [[Ardsley-on-Hudson, New York|Ardsley-on-Hudson]] neighborhood of [[Irvington, New York]]).<ref name="dobbsferry.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.dobbsferry.com/Projects-and-Initiatives/129-dobbs-ferry-vision-plan.html|title=Dobbs Ferry Vision Plan β Village of Dobbs Ferry|work=dobbsferry.com|access-date=2014-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140304175217/http://www.dobbsferry.com/Projects-and-Initiatives/129-dobbs-ferry-vision-plan.html|archive-date=2014-03-04|url-status=dead}}</ref>
