1951 Map of Torrington

About this map

Industrial and residential development centers on Torrington in the early 1950s, where the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad follows the course of the Naugatuck River. The map captures the city's infrastructure at mid-century, featuring the Armory, Sewage Disposal plant, and the Radio Tower (WTOR). Beyond the urban core, the landscape transitions into the hills of the Paugnut State Forest and the quiet waters of Burr Pond and Lake Harwinton.
