1892 Map of Winsted

About this map

Winsted serves as a major industrial and transportation hub in the late nineteenth century, where the Still River cuts through the steep terrain of the Litchfield Hills. The map captures the complex rail network required to service these mountain communities, showing the Central New England and Western Railroad winding eastward toward Colebrook Station and the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad Naugatuck Division following the Naugatuck River valley south from Winsted through Burrville and Daytonville.
