1963 Map of Newtown

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The confluence of the Housatonic River and the Shepaug River defines this Connecticut landscape, which centers on the town of Newtown and the sprawling campus of the Fairfield State Hospital. Photorevised in the early 1970s, the map illustrates a region of varied institutional and residential development, from the Southbury Training Sch in the north to the unique enclave of Russian Village near the Pomperaug River. Transport and industry are marked by the Penn Central rail lines and several large Sand and Gravel Pits concentrated near Hawleyville. The expansion of Lake Lillinonah behind the Housatonic River reflects mid-century utility planning, while established neighborhoods like Sandy Hook and Pootatuck Park show the area's continued suburban growth. Local history is anchored by sites like the Newtown Village Cem and the prominent elevations of Taunton Hill and Sunset Hill.
