1964 Map of Norton

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Wheaton College serves as a central landmark in this mid-1960s study of the Bristol County landscape, where the Rumford River and Canoe River converge toward the Norton Reservoir. The map illustrates a region in transition, balancing the historic village centers of Norton and Barrowsville with institutional developments like the Dever State School and the Lovering Colony State Hospital near Oakland. For genealogists, the sheet is particularly dense with small family and town burial grounds, including Norton Center Cem, Babbit Cem, and Stevens Corner Cem. The infrastructure of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad bisects the terrain, connecting industrial points and gravel pits that defined the local economy before the expansion of modern residential corridors. Large natural tracts like the Great Woods and Rehoboth State Forest remain prominent, preserving the character of the inland coastal plain.
