1892 Map of Norwalk
USGS Topo · Published 1892About this map
The coastal landscapes of Fairfield County are captured here in the late 19th century, a time when the Norwalk River and Saugatuck River served as vital corridors for commerce and travel. The map reveals the distinct identities of Norwalk, South Norwalk, and East Norwalk before the density of the modern suburbs filled the spaces between them. Further inland, the terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges such as Sturgis Ridge, Belden Hill, and Chestnut Hill, which dictated the winding paths of rural roads and the placement of small agricultural hamlets like Lyon Plain and Aspetuck.
