1960 Map of Milford

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Milford and its surrounding coastal communities are captured here during a period of significant postwar growth, as indicated by the expanding urban tints and the prominence of the Connecticut Toll Road and Governor John Davis Lodge Turnpike. The landscape is a complex intersection of historic sites and mid-century infrastructure, where the Penn Central and Amtrak rail lines cut through neighborhoods such as Devon and Naugatuck Gardens. Along the shoreline, established summer colonies like Wildermere Beach, Myrtle Beach, and Laurel Beach front the Long Island Sound, while Charles Island sits just offshore, connected by a bar. The map detail reflects the area's transition into a major regional hub, balancing industrial markers like the Quarry and Igor Sikorsky Memorial Airport with local institutions such as Kings Highway Cem and several community schools.
