1956 Map of Sharon

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Wononscopomuc Lake and the village of Lakeville anchor this mid-century survey of the Litchfield Hills, revealing a landscape defined by prominent educational institutions and deep-rooted industrial hamlets. The presence of The Hotchkiss Sch, Indian Mtn Sch, and Salisbury Sch indicates the area's development as a center for private education. The map details the transition from the iron-mining heritage of Ore Hill and Lime Rock toward a residential and recreational character, evidenced by Camp Sloane and Camp Easton. To the east, the Appalachian Trail winds through the Housatonic State Forest, crossing ridges like Wetauwanchu Mtn and Forge Mtn. In the south, the village of Sharon is clearly mapped near Mudge Pond, while the rural outskirts are dotted with family-named features like Carse Bk and Beardsley Pond.
