2015 Map of Norwalk North

About this map

The Silvermine River and Norwalk River corridors define the suburban landscape of Fairfield County in this 2015 study, illustrating the dense residential character of Wilton and the northern reaches of Norwalk. The map details a region where colonial-era settlement patterns meet modern infrastructure, notably along the Metro-North rail line and the busy Merritt Pkwy. Local history and genealogy interest is high, with numerous small burial grounds such as Silvermine Cem, Hillside Cem, and Bald Hill Cem scattered among the hills. The terrain is marked by distinctive rises like Sugar Loaf Hill and Grumman Hill, while the hydrography is characterized by a series of reservoirs and ponds, including S Norwalk Reservoir and Grupes Reservoir, which reflect the long-standing water management systems of these coastal Connecticut communities.
