1904 Map of New Milford

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The Housatonic River carves a deep path through the Litchfield Hills, serving as the primary corridor for the Housatonic Railroad and its many trackside hamlets. In the early 20th century, the valley's industrial legacy is evident at Kent Furnace, while the wider region is dotted with agricultural and mill-centered villages like Gaylordsville, New Preston, and Marbledale. The arrival of the New York New Haven and Hartford rail lines fostered the growth of depots and post offices, including the West Morris P.O. and Roxbury Station. Upland, the landscape is defined by significant water bodies such as Lake Waramaug and the North Spectacle Pond, while rugged terrain landmarks like Mine Hill and Mt Tom rise above the branching courses of the Aspetuck River and Shepaug River.
