1951 Map of Norfolk

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Norfolk serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the intersection of several critical drainage basins in the Litchfield hills. The landscape is defined by its transition from high summits like Canaan Mtn and Dutton Mtn down into the narrow valleys of the Blackberry River and Mad River. This era shows a community balanced between its industrial heritage and its growing role as a recreational retreat, evidenced by the presence of the Norfolk Country Club and several state-managed lands including Algonquin State Forest and Haystack Mtn State Park. Further south, the landscape opens into the waters of Lake Winchester and North Pond, where local hamlets like North Goshen and South Norfolk anchor the rural crossroads. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for its precise placement of numerous small burial grounds, such as Danbury Quarter Cem and the Hurlbut Cem near the Winchester Center P.O.
