1970 Map of Bethel

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bethel and the surrounding Fairfield County townships appear here during a period of significant suburban development, yet the landscape remains defined by its complex hydrography and steep ridges. The central corridor is anchored by the Penn Central railroad, which tracks the Norwalk River through Branchville and Georgetown, while the Saugatuck River flows through the eastern hills toward the Saugatuck Reservoir. This survey captures the region just as the interstate era was reshaping local travel, though the older network of State Route 53 and State Route 58 still dictates the primary movement between Redding and the northern heights.
