1948 Map of Woodbury

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Regina Laudis Priory sits near the northern boundary of Bethlehem, anchoring a landscape defined by the winding paths of the Weekeepeemee River and Nonewaug River. In the late 1940s, the area shows a distinct cluster of settlements including Hotchkissville, North Woodbury, and the main village of Woodbury, all situated along the primary valley floor. To the east, Lake Quassapaug and Lake Winnemaug dominate the upland terrain, surrounded by numerous smaller water bodies like Cat Swamp Pond and Kelley Pond. The map captures the prominence of local landmarks such as the Taft Sch in Watertown and the Orenaug Hills, which rise sharply above the village center. This survey provides a clear view of the mid-century transition between agricultural land and growing suburban clusters, noted by the presence of several established cemeteries like North Cem and South Cem.
