1893 Map of New Milford

About this map

New Milford serves as a primary hub within this late nineteenth-century landscape, situated where the Housatonic River meets the Still River. The industrial and transport patterns of the era are clearly defined by the Housatonic Railroad, which tracks the river's path and connects local depots such as Merwinsville and Gaylordsville. The map captures a transition in Western Connecticut's economy, showing established villages like Washington Green and Bridgewater alongside early rail-dependent developments like Washington Station and Roxbury Station.
