1953 Map of Danbury
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The massive expanse of Lake Candlewood dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, its fingers wrapping around Vaughns Neck and Candlewood Isle. This era of development is marked by the proliferation of lakefront communities like Candlewood Knolls and Candlewood Shores, contrasting with the established industrial and commercial center of Danbury to the south. The city itself is a dense network of streets serving institutions like the State Teachers College and the Courthouse, while the sprawling Danbury Fairgrounds and Danbury Airport anchor the western outskirts.
