1964 Map of Long Hill

About this map

Trap Falls Reservoir and Isinglass Reservoir anchor the eastern landscape of Fairfield County in this mid-century portrait of suburbanization and utility infrastructure. The map documents the growth of Long Hill and Huntington, where expanding residential footprints meet the older agricultural and industrial layers of the Connecticut countryside. Along the western edge, the Penn Central railroad corridors and the Merritt Parkway facilitate regional movement, while specialized landmarks like Tungsten Mine Park hint at the area's mineral history. Educational and religious institutions are prominent, including Masuk High Sch and St Josephs High Sch, reflecting the community's post-war development. From the heights of Booth Hill to the valley of the Housatonic River, the map captures a period of transition as traditional landmarks like Walker Farm and Cutlers Farm are surrounded by modern civil engineering and burgeoning neighborhoods.
