1952 Map of Moodus

About this map

The Salmon River and its many tributaries carve through this corner of Connecticut, defining a landscape of steep wooded hills and early industrial water power. At the center of this 1952 revision, the Salmon River State Forest surrounds the historic Old Comstock Bridge, while the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line follows the contours of the river valley toward North Westchester. To the south, the settlement of Moodus is shown just before mid-century suburban shifts, with its namesake Moodus River and Moodus Reservoir powering the local economy.
