1955 Map of Kent

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Housatonic River carves a deep valley through Litchfield County in this mid-century survey, updated in the early 1970s to reflect contemporary road changes. The river corridor serves as the primary artery for both the Penn Central railroad and a network of settlements, including the village of Kent and the industrial remnants of Kent Furnace. The landscape is defined by its recreation and conservation heritage, showing the expansive Wyantenock State Forest and the early layout of the Appalachian Trail as it traverses Mt Algo and St Johns Peak.
