1950 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

Sharon Mountain dominates the center of this Litchfield County landscape, rising above a network of smaller peaks and scattered farm settlements in the mid-20th century. The Housatonic River serves as a primary geographic anchor, winding through the eastern corridor and carrying the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad along its banks. This era shows a community defined by its crossroads and family-named landmarks, from the clusters at Pearson Corners and South Ellsworth to the higher elevations of Skiff Mountain. The map records a transition toward conservation and recreation, evidenced by the established boundaries of Kent Falls State Park and the Appalachian Trail threading through the western hills. Pockets of local history are preserved in sites like the East Street Cem and the small settlement of Mitcheltown, while numerous water bodies like Hatch Pond and Ford Pond punctuate the wooded uplands.
