1970 Map of Bethel

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Saugatuck Reservoir anchors the southeastern landscape of this Fairfield County terrain, where the Saugatuck River and Norwalk River drainage basins meet. The map reveals a transition from the established borough of Bethel and the southern edge of Danbury toward the smaller villages of Redding, Branchville, and Georgetown. This era captures the region's mid-century character, balancing its suburban growth near Danbury Municipal Airport with large tracts of protected land like Wooster Mountain State Park and Putnam Memorial State Park. The Conrail rail line tracks through the center of the sheet, connecting industrial points and small depots such as West Redding. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies numerous schools and spiritual centers, including St Andrews Ch and the Umpawaug Cemetery, nestled among named peaks like Moses Mtn and Topstone Mtn.
