1955 Map of New Milford

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Housatonic River winds through this mid-century Connecticut landscape, defining the character of New Milford and its surrounding hill country. This 1955 survey, with revisions into the early 1980s, highlights a period when the massive Candlewood Lake had already reshaped the western topography, creating complex shorelines at Deer Island and Green Island. The mapping captures the intersection of traditional agricultural industry at The Lime Kiln with the growing residential and educational presence of institutions like the Canterbury Sch and New Milford High Sch. To the south, the expansion of Lake Lillinonah marks the valley's evolving water management and recreation patterns. Rural life is grounded by numerous localized landmarks, from the Sherman Ch in the west to the small settlements at Boardman Bridge and Lanesville, alongside preserved woodlands in the Pootatuck State Forest.
