1956 Map of Sharon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Salisbury and Lakeville anchor this mid-century view of Litchfield County, where the iron industry's legacy is visible in the landscape and place names. The map highlights a significant educational corridor, prominently featuring The Hotchkiss Sch near the shores of Wononskopomuc Lake and the Indian Mtn Sch further west. Industrial roots are evident at Ore Hill and Lime Rock, connected by the Penn Central rail line that follows the valley floor. To the west, the New York and Connecticut state line cuts through the high ground of Indian Mountain. The terrain is defined by a series of significant water bodies, from Mudge Pond in the south to the Lakeville Reservoir No 1 beneath Mt Riga in the north, illustrating the region's managed water resources.
