1963 Map of Newtown

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Housatonic River and the sprawling waters of Lake Lillinonah dominate this Fairfield County landscape during a period of significant mid-century transition. The arrival of Interstate 84 cuts across the center of the map, illustrating the modernization of Connecticut's transportation network as it bypassed established village centers like Newtown and Sandy Hook. The map documents a complex mix of land uses, from the institutional grounds of the Fairfield State Hospital and the secluded Russian Village to the industrial activity at several Sand and Gravel Pits near the Pootatuck River. Local genealogy and history are preserved in the locations of the Pierce Hollow Cem and Newtown Village Cem, while the Conrail line through Hawleyville shows the surviving rail infrastructure of the era.
