1956 Map of Thomaston

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Naugatuck River serves as the industrial and topographic spine of this Litchfield Hills region, corridor for the Penn Central railroad and a focal point for the towns of Thomaston and Plymouth. This mid-century survey reflects a period of infrastructure development, most notably the Thomaston Dam and the Terryville Tunnel, which underscore the engineering efforts to manage the river's flow and rail transit. The landscape is dotted with local heritage sites including Hillside Cem and St Thomas Cem, alongside several state parks like Mattatuck State Forest and Humaston Brook State Park. A mix of manufacturing centers and rural hillsides define the area, from the aviation activity at Waterbury Airport to the localized landmarks of Leatherman Cave and Eagle Rock Ch.
