1964 Map of Southbury

About this map

Lake Zoar and the Housatonic River anchor this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the intersection of industrial power and emerging suburban development. The Stevenson Dam Powerplant at the southern edge of the lake represents the area's hydroelectric infrastructure, while the newly revised purple-tinted areas indicate the growth of settlements like Southbury and South Britain by the early 1980s. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain, marked by family-named landmarks such as Durkee Hill and Jacks Hill, along with numerous small burial grounds including Middleground Cem and Bradley Cem.
