1954 Map of Wallingford

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Quinnipiac River valley serves as the central corridor for this mid-century portrait of New Haven County, where industry and education converge. The town of Wallingford dominates the landscape, defined by a dense concentration of civic and religious institutions such as the Choate Sch, Lyman Hall High Sch, and several prominent burial grounds including Holy Trinity Cem and the Center Street Cem. The infrastructure of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad parallels the river, facilitating the growth of surrounding settlements like Yalesville and Quinnipiac. To the east and south, the terrain rises toward Totoket Mountain, revealing a shift from the urbanized river valley to a landscape of reservoirs like North Farms Reservoir and the rural reaches of Northford. Notable landmarks like the Saylord Farm Sanatorium and Tyler Mill illustrate the diverse land use of the era.
