1964 Map of Norton

About this map

Wheaton College serves as a focal point for the town of Norton, where education and institutional land use define much of the local character. This mid-century survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the Norton Reservoir and the extensive Great Woods, alongside significant state-run facilities like the Dever State School and the Lovering Colony State Hospital near Oakland. The area's industrial and transport legacy is visible through the Conrail rail lines and numerous Gravel Pits that dot the terrain between Barrowsville and Chartley.
