1960 Map of Norwalk North

About this map

The Silvermine River and Saugatuck River cut through this corner of Fairfield County, defining a landscape of residential growth and preserved woodlands during the 1960s. The Merritt Parkway arcs across the southern portion, reflecting the era's suburban expansion as it bypasses established local centers like New Canaan and Wilton. This 1960 revision, later updated with 1970s cultural data, illustrates the transition from a traditional rail-centered economy to an automobile-dependent one, with the Penn Central line still serving local stations from Talmadge Hill to Cannondale.
