1964 Map of Naugatuck

About this map

The Naugatuck River valley serves as the industrial and transportation spine for this mid-century Connecticut landscape, where the Penn Central rail line and major highway developments follow the river's winding course. The borough of Naugatuck and the village of Beacon Falls show significant postwar density, while the surrounding hills remain defined by the Naugatuck State Forest. High-elevation landmarks like Tobys Rock Mountain and Beacon Cap overlook a terrain increasingly dotted with gravel extractions, such as the Sand and Gravel Pit near the riverbanks.
