1955 Map of New Preston
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Washington Depot and the village of Washington anchor the southern portion of this mid-century landscape, where the Shepaug River carves through a terrain of named drumlins and peaks. To the west, the shores of Lake Waramaug are marked by residential developments at Randalls Pt and Cheeree Point, framed by the elevations of Mount Bushnell and Tinker Hill. The 1955 survey captures an established educational and recreational corridor, featuring the Gunnery Sch and Rumsey Hall Sch alongside the Washington Golf Course. Further north, the Shepaug Reservoir and Wyantenock State Forest dominate the hills near Warren. This era shows the local infrastructure of the Bantam Railroad and historic burial grounds like Judea Cem, providing a clear look at Litchfield County before modern suburban expansion fully altered the rural character of these hilltop settlements.
