1955 Map of Kent

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Housatonic River carves a deep valley through Litchfield County, where the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad tracks parallel the water, connecting settlements like Gaylordsville and Kent. This mid-century landscape is defined by its educational and recreational institutions, including the campus of Kent Sch and numerous seasonal retreats such as Camp Kenmont and Camp Leonard Leonore. High ground is marked by prominent peaks like Segar Mountain and Bull Mountain, while the Appalachian Trail winds through the western ridges near Macedonia Brook. Local heritage is anchored by several historic burial grounds, including the West Meetinghouse Cem and Peet Cem. The presence of Kent Furnace and the Ore Hill Sch reflects the area's industrial and rural education history, captured before modern development altered the character of these riverside and mountain communities.
