1956 Map of New Hartford

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Saville Dam anchors the landscape of the Litchfield and Hartford county line, holding back the massive East Branch Farmington River Reservoir. This mid-century survey illustrates a region defined by its water management and forested terrain, with the West Branch Farmington River winding through the southwestern corner near New Hartford. The map captures the intersection of rural heritage and postwar recreation, evidenced by the cluster of small settlements like Barkhamsted Center and Goose Green alongside the mid-century Drive-in Theater near Pleasant Valley. Extensive public lands including Peoples State Forest and Tunxis State Forest dominate the hills, protecting many small brooks like Roaring Brook and Cherry Brook. Genealogists will find numerous family and local landmarks, from the Washington Hill Ch to the Barkhamsted Cem and North Canton Cem.
