1954 Map of Branford

About this map

The coastal shoreline of Long Island Sound and the prominent ridge of Totoket Mountain anchor this mid-century survey of the Connecticut coast. In the town of Branford, a concentrated network of neighborhood schools like Canoe Brook Sch and High Sch serve a community transitioning into the suburban era. The landscape is deeply defined by its water management and industry, from the massive basin of Lake Gaillard to the Branford Supply Ponds and the old industrial footprints at Pages Mill Pond.
