1953 Map of Fitchville

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Yantic River carves through the central hills of New London County, anchoring a landscape where small industrial hamlets and rural school districts once flourished. In the early 1950s, the community of Fitchville sits at the junction of the Norwich Turnpike and the river, while the Central Vermont railroad skirts the eastern edge near Franklin Sta. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling Gardner Lake, a hub for mid-century recreation evidenced by numerous seasonal camps including Camp Mooween, Camp Odetah, and Camp Tadma. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of family-named landmarks and resting places like Scott Hill Cem and Parker Cem, as well as local landmarks like the Lebanon Country Club and the Leffingwell Sch.
