About this map

The Hudson River and the Housatonic River anchor this late-twentieth-century landscape, framing the industrial and residential corridors of Western Connecticut and Eastern New York. In Waterbury, the urban layout is defined by the Naugatuck River and central landmarks like Waterbury City Hall and Saint Marys Hospital. The map illustrates a region transitioning from its manufacturing roots to an educational and recreational hub, featuring prominent institutions such as the Taft School in Watertown and the Hotchkiss School near Lakeville.

Conservation efforts are evident in the extensive networks of the Mattatuck State Forest and Housatonic State Forest, which surround the rugged heights of the Taconic Mountains. Along the western edge, the Hudson valley’s cultural significance is marked by the Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site and the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site near Hyde Park. The transport infrastructure is densely packed, showing the reach of the Metro-North Railroad and Interstate 84 connecting Poughkeepsie to the industrial centers of Torrington and Winsted.
