1956 Map of Winsted

About this map

The industrial and residential heart of Winsted sits at the confluence of the Still River and Mad River, a location defined by the steep valleys of the Litchfield hills. This mid-century survey captures the community shortly after the 1955 floods, showing the Mad River Dam and the spillway as critical infrastructure. To the west, Highland Lake remains a major center for recreation and local life, featuring several distinct points like Indian Point and Wheeler Point.
