1957 Map of Avon

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Farmington River winds through this mid-century Connecticut landscape, flanked by the residential and institutional growth of Avon and Simsbury. Educational and religious landmarks are prominent, including the sprawling campus of Avon Old Farms and the Ethel Walker Sch, alongside the La Sallette Novitiate in Bloomfield. To the east, the dramatic ridge of Talcott Mountain separates the river valley from the burgeoning suburbs of West Hartford, which are served by several large reservoirs, such as Hartford Reservoir No 6. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds including St Ann Cem and Cider Brook Cem, while traces of the area's industrial past appear near Powder Mill. The New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad still follows the river's path, providing a primary transportation corridor through the valley during this era.
