1956 Map of Sharon

About this map

Salisbury and Lakeville serve as central hubs in this mid-century topographic portrait of the Litchfield Hills, where the landscape is defined by its deep glacial lakes and iron-mining heritage. Industrial roots are evident at Ore Hill and the Garnett Prospect, while the village of Lime Rock sits along Salmon Creek, reflecting the area's long history of metalworking. Education is a prominent theme on this sheet, with the extensive grounds of The Hotchkiss Sch situated between Wononskopomuc Lake and Wononpakook Lake, joined by Salisbury Sch to the north and Indian Mtn Sch to the west.
