1960 Map of Norwalk South

About this map

Long Island Sound defines the southern edge of this mid-century coastal survey, where the intricate shoreline of Darien and Norwalk is dotted with numerous islands and inlets. Residential growth and institutional expansion are evident through the concentration of schools and religious sites, such as the Holy Ghost Fathers and Sacred Heart Academy. The transportation landscape is dominated by the Penn Central rail line and the Connecticut Turnpike, which cut through established neighborhoods like South Norwalk and Noroton Heights.
