1956 Map of West Torrington

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

John Browns Birthplace (Ruins) stands as a notable landmark near Drakeville in this topographic study of the Litchfield Hills region. The landscape transitions from the urban expansion of Torrington in the southeast to the rural, high-elevation terrain of Ivy Mountain and Beech Hill. The industrial and municipal infrastructure of the mid-20th century is evident through features like the Litchfield Pumping Station and several reservoirs, including Stillwater Pond and Reuben Reservoir, which manage the West Branch Naugatuck River watershed. Education and specialized institutions are prominent across the quadrangle, including the Litchfield School For Boys, The Forman School, and the Junior Republic Of Connecticut. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds preserved, such as the Old Middle Street Cemetery and Collins Cemetery.
