1947 Map of Norwalk South

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Norwalk and its neighboring coastal boroughs are presented here just after the war, showing a landscape defined by its deep estuaries and industrial waterfronts. The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad cuts a vital path across the terrain, linking settlements like Noroton Heights, Darien, and Rowayton. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of the Long Island Sound, where numerous islands such as Sheffield Island and Chimon Island protect the approaches to Norwalk Harbor. Inland, the area retains significant open space and institutional grounds, including the Ferndale Retreat and Tokeneke Park. The industrial character of the mid-century era is grounded by the presence of the Sewage Disposal Plant and extensive greenhouses, contrasting with the growing residential footprints of South Norwalk and East Norwalk.
