1955 Map of New Preston

About this map

The Aspetuck River and Shepaug River define the winding drainage patterns of this Litchfield County landscape, anchoring settlements like Washington Depot and New Preston. In the mid-1950s, the area reflects a well-established educational and recreational character, evidenced by the presence of the Gunnery Sch and Rumsey Hall Sch, alongside the sprawling waters of Lake Waramaug. The map reveals a high concentration of named summits and ridges, from The Pinnacle to Mount Rat, which hem in the narrow valleys where roads like Sabbath Day Lane and Blackville Road connect small villages.
