1950 Map of Sharon

About this map

The hills of Litchfield County define this 1950 snapshot of Northwest Connecticut, where the villages of Salisbury and Lakeville serve as central hubs for education and recreation. This era reveals a landscape deeply connected to its academic institutions, notably The Hotchkiss Sch, Indian Mtn Sch, and Salisbury Sch. The presence of Ore Hill suggests the region’s long-standing industrial ties to iron mining, while the concentration of estates and camps around Wononskopomuc Lake and Wononpakook Lake highlights its mid-century role as a seasonal retreat.
