1963 Map of Newtown

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Housatonic River snakes through this landscape, widened into Lake Lillinonah behind unseen downstream dams. This 1963 survey shows the central Connecticut topography at a time of suburban expansion and industrial transition, with Interstate 84 cutting through the center of the sheet near Hawleyville. The local economy is reflected in several sand and gravel pits and the presence of the Conrail line. Of particular interest to local historians is the large complex of the Fairfield State Hospital and the clustered residential developments like Russian Village and Oakdale Manor. The map also captures several traditional village centers, including Newtown and Sandy Hook, alongside family-named landmarks like Taunton Hill and Pierce Hollow Cem, providing a detailed look at the region's mid-century footprint before later development altered these rural corridors.
