1951 Map of Westport

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Greenfield Hill and the surrounding Fairfield landscape showcase a post-war transition as mid-century infrastructure meets long-established New England settlements. The lower coastline is dominated by the dense corridors of the New York New Haven and Hartford RR and the Connecticut Turnpike, which bypass the historic centers of Southport and Fairfield. Inland, the terrain is defined by a series of significant water works, including the Hemlock Reservoir, Saugatuck Reservoir, and Aspetuck Reservoir, reflecting the region's managed utility expansion. Local history is preserved in the numerous family-named landmarks and institutions, such as Good Hill Sch and the Old West Cem. The map illustrates the shift from a fragmented agricultural and mill-driven economy, evidenced by sites like Perry Millpond, toward the suburban residential patterns emerging along the Merritt Parkway.
