1951 Map of Norfolk

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Norfolk and the surrounding Litchfield County highlands are defined by a landscape of glacial ponds and state-protected woodlands in this mid-century survey. The terrain is notably marked by public preserves such as Haystack Mtn State Park and Algonquin State Forest, indicating the region's early transition from a farm-and-mill economy toward recreation and conservation. Small clusters of rural life persist at Grantville and North Goshen, while the village of Norfolk remains the primary hub of development. Significant water bodies like Lake Winchester and Tobey Pond dominate the valleys, linked by a network of colonial-era roads like Danbury Quarter Road and Sunset Drive. The presence of numerous family-named cemeteries, including Hurlbut Cem and Danbury Quarter Cem, offers a rich resource for genealogists tracing the established lineages of the Berkshire foothills.
