1953 Map of Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Durham and Durham Center serve as the primary inland nodes in this mid-century portrait of Middlesex and New Haven counties. The landscape is defined by its north-south ridges and significant water bodies, including Quonnipaug Lake and Pistapaug Pond. The rural character of the early 1950s is evident in the scattered small settlements like Rockland and Parmalee, and the reliance on local resources seen at Allyn Millpond. Large portions of the eastern terrain are occupied by the Cockaponset State Forest, while the western edge is marked by the dramatic elevations of Beseck Mountain and Pistapaug Mountain.
