1960 Map of Atwater

About this map

Rootstown and Edinburg anchor the northern townships of this Portage County landscape, which sits entirely within the historic boundaries of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The 1960s agricultural character is defined by a dense network of country lanes like Hattrick Road and Bassett Road, connecting small rural centers including Industry and Randolph. The Penn Central rail line cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving the station at New Milford and passing through the village of Atwater. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds, such as the Disciple Cem and Homeland Cem, alongside water features like Muzzy Lake and Schultz Lake. This survey illustrates the transition of the region before significant modern suburban expansion, preserving the location of family-named landmarks and early transportation corridors.
