1967 Map of Wallingford

About this map

The Quinnipiac River valley serves as the central corridor for this late-1960s survey of the Wallingford area, where industrial and institutional development clusters along the Penn Central rail line. The map captures a high density of educational and medical landmarks, including the historic Choate Sch campus and the sprawling Masonic Home and Hospital grounds. In the northern reaches, Yalesville sits near the Broad Brook Reservoir, while the southern portion transition into North Haven and Clintonville. Local history is visible in the distribution of family and community landmarks, from the Gaylord Farms Sanatorium to various neighborhood schools such as Whittlesey Ave Sch and Lyman Hall High Sch. Significant water bodies like Community Lake and North Farms Reservoir punctuate the landscape, highlighting the region's managed water resources during this period of suburban expansion.
