1960 Map of Norwalk North

About this map

Wilton and New Canaan appear at a moment of significant mid-century suburbanization along the Silvermine River and Saugatuck River. The landscape is a complex network of residential growth woven between established landmarks like the Strong Comstock Sch and numerous historic burial grounds including Hickok Cem and Sharp Hill Cem. This 1960 revision provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting this expansion, from the New Haven and Hartford RR corridor to the emerging residential streets surrounding Silvermine and South Wilton.
