1953 Map of Long Hill

About this map

Monroe and Huntington anchor this Fairfield County landscape during a period of mid-century suburban transition and resource management. The map highlights a sophisticated network of water infrastructure necessary for regional growth, including the sprawling Trap Falls Reservoir, Means Brook Reservoir, and Isinglass Reservoir. These bodies of water sit alongside established agrarian settlements, where family names are preserved in landmarks like Barn Hill, Booth Hill, and the White Hills.
