1956 Map of Litchfield

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Bantam Lake dominates the central landscape of this Connecticut survey, its northern and southern reaches defined by North Bay and South Bay. This area, encompassing the townships of Litchfield, Morris, and Bethlehem, reflects a mid-century pattern of upland farming and woodland conservation. The presence of the Mattatuck State Forest and the Mattatuck Trail signifies a region transitioning towards recreation and resource management, while the numerous reservoirs like Pitch Reservoir, Morris Reservoir, and Wigwam Reservoir illustrate the critical role of the local watershed. Smaller settlements such as Grappaville and East Morris appear alongside established institutions like Camp Columbia and Wamogo High Sch. Genealogists may find value in the clearly marked West Cem, East Cem, and Bethlehem Cem, which anchor the historical community centers within this diverse terrain of hills and valleys.
