1955 Map of New Milford

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

New Milford serves as the primary hub where the Housatonic River meets the Aspetuck River, a landscape defined by dramatic valley topography and mid-century suburban expansion. The dominance of Candlewood Lake to the west, including features like Deer Island and Squantz Pond State Park, reflects the area's transition into a premier recreation destination. The Penn Central rail line traces the river's path, connecting the industrial legacy of places like the Haviland Millpond and the historic crossing at Boardman Bridge to the growing town center. Notable institutional landmarks are well-documented, from the Canterbury Sch and New Milford High Sch to local camps such as Camp Mauwehu. Significant purple revisions reflect the rapid highway and residential development that transformed Litchfield and Fairfield counties between the 1950s and early 1970s.
