1956 Map of South Canaan

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Housatonic State Forest blankets the high elevations of the Litchfield hills, dominating a mid-century landscape where timber and education met. In the east, the Yale University Forestry School stands as a testament to the region's managed woodlands, while the Appalachian Trail winds through the interior peaks of Canaan Mountain and Music Mtn. Along the western edge, the Housatonic River serves as a corridor for the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, passing through Falls Village and Amesville. This 1950s survey captures a network of small upland communities like Cornwall Hollow and Huntsville, alongside numerous family and community burial grounds including Under Mountain Cem and Sand Hill Cem, providing essential details for genealogists and local historians.
