1947 Map of Southwick

About this map

The Westfield Little River carves through the northern landscape of this 1947 edition, flowing past the Little Gorge and Rocky Point as it approaches Westfield. This survey highlights a post-war rural economy where industrial utilities and local institutions sit side-by-side, such as the Power House and West Parish Filters near the West Parish School. The New Haven and Hartford RR provides a critical north-south corridor, connecting Southwick Depot to the broader regional network. To the south, the Congamond Lakes dominate the terrain at the border, while higher elevations like Drake Mountain and Badluck Mtn define the western reaches near Granville. Genealogists will find numerous family landmarks, including the Rice Cem and Northeast Cem, alongside the Southwick Ch at the heart of its namesake town.
