1953 Map of Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Coginchaug River valley serves as the central corridor for this 1953 survey, where agricultural flats meet the rising trap rock ridges of south-central Connecticut. Durham and Durham Center anchor the local road network, while the western edge is defined by the steep slopes of Pistapaug Mountain and Fowler Mtn. This landscape reveals a complex mid-century balance between working lands, such as the Durham Hunting Area, and the growing recreational footprint of Trimountain State Park and Cockaponset State Forest.
