1956 Map of New Hartford

About this map

The East Branch Farmington River Reservoir dominates this mid-century landscape, a massive hydraulic engineering project held back by the Saville Dam. This reservoir and the adjacent Lake Mc Donough represent the mid-20th-century transformation of the upper Farmington Valley, where water management for downstream municipalities reshaped the Litchfield County terrain. Small crossroads communities like Barkhamsted Center and North Canton remain centered around their historic institutions, including the Barkhamsted Cem and North Canton Cem.
