1960 Map of Norwalk North

About this map

The Silvermine River and Norwalk River dominate this Fairfield County landscape, carving through a series of ridges such as Ruscoe Ridge and Marvin Ridge. During the mid-20th century, this area transitioned from its colonial agricultural roots into a sophisticated suburban corridor, as evidenced by the presence of the Merritt Parkway and the Penn Central rail line. The map captures the distinct character of settlements like Silvermine, South Wilton, and Winnipauk before further modern expansion.
