1951 Map of Norton

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Norton Reservoir and the Canoe River define the northern landscape of this Bristol County region, where industrial and educational institutions sit alongside extensive wetlands like the Hemlock Swamp. In the early 1950s, the New York New Haven and Hartford rail line remained a primary artery through Norton, connecting the manufacturing heritage of the Copper Works to the campus of Wheaton College. Further south, the map documents significant social infrastructure of the era, including the Myles Standish State School and the Colony State Hospital near Oakland.
