1952 Map of Westford

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Nipmuck State Forest and Natchaug State Forest dominate this landscape in northeastern Connecticut, where the rugged topography of the Eastern Uplands is marked by a network of drainage brooks. The map illustrates a rural settlement pattern centered on the villages of Union and Westford, characterized by small upland farms and localized civic centers. Notable local-history landmarks include the Union School, Ashford School, and the Westford Hill Church, alongside quiet reminders of early industry like Lead Mine Brook and Lead Mine Hill. The 1970 photorevision updates reflect the modernization of the corridor, specifically detailing the Wilbur Cross Highway and the Boston Turnpike. Numerous water bodies, including Lake Chaffee and Ashford Lake, appear alongside older topographic features such as Walker Mountain and the curiously named Swamp Buying Ground.
