1950 Map of South Canaan

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Canaan Mountain and the expansive Housatonic State Forest dominate this Litchfield County landscape, where the Housatonic River carves a deep valley along the western edge. This postwar survey documents the industrial and educational intersections of the region, notably featuring the Yale University Forestry School near Meekertown and the river-side activity at Falls Village. Settlement patterns follow the valley floors and lower slopes, with clusters at South Canaan and Cornwall Hollow connected by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line.
