1956 Map of Winsted

About this map

Winsted serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, its urban core concentrated along the Mad River and Still River. The surrounding landscape is defined by its recreation and conservation areas, including the expansive Highland Lake with its three distinct bays—First Bay, Second Bay, and Third Bay—and numerous summer retreats like Camp Delaware and Camp Sequassen. The settlement pattern follows the river valleys and ancient transport routes, such as the Old North Road, which connects the mountain hamlets of Colebrook and Riverton.
