1951 Map of Thomaston

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Naugatuck River corridor serves as the industrial and transit spine of this mid-century Connecticut landscape, flanked by the steep terrain of the Litchfield Hills. This 1951 edition highlights the dense development of the period, particularly the rail infrastructure of the New York New Haven and Hartford line through Thomaston (BM 393) and the Terryville Tunnel in Plymouth. Water management for the surrounding industrial valleys is evident in the series of reservoirs, including Bristol Res No 4 through Bristol Res No 8. Local history is anchored by numerous family and community sites, from the Holt Sch to various rural cemeteries like Northfield Cem and West Side Cem. The presence of the Mount Toby Airport and Roraback Lodge reflects the mix of early aviation and recreational land use during the post-war era.
