1903 Map of Cornwall

About this map

The Housatonic River carves through the Litchfield Hills in this turn-of-the-century topographic record, defining the valley that connects Falls Village and Cornwall Bridge. The landscape is shaped by late 19th-century industrial and transport networks, most notably the iron heritage of Ore Hill and the village of Limerock. The map highlights the complex rail system of the era, including the Central New England RR and the Berkshire Division of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which facilitated the movement of ore and timber from the highlands.
