About this map

The industrial and residential center of Torrington anchor the western edge of this 1948 survey, where the Naugatuck River and the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line shaped the town's early growth. This mid-century landscape shows a community transitioning from its agricultural roots to a modern manufacturing hub, featuring landmarks like the Armory and various municipal services such as the Sewage Disposal plant. To the north, the sprawling Paugnut State Forest and Burr Pond provide a stark contrast to the urban grid.
