1956 Map of Torrington

About this map

The industrial and residential center of Torrington dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, showing the city's dense grid expanding toward Besse Park and the Wolcott Sch. The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line follows the course of the Still River, serving as a primary corridor for the region's transport and industry. To the east, the terrain transitions into the wooded uplands of Paugnut State Forest and the rural hills of Harwinton.
