1950 Map of Woodbury

About this map

Regina Laudis Priory and the surrounding hills of Bethlehem and Woodbury define the northern portion of this 1950 survey. The landscape is a network of ridges and river valleys, where the Weekeepeemee River and Nonewaug River converge near Hotchkissville and North Woodbury to form the Pomperaug River. This mid-century view documents the region before modern suburban expansion, showing a dense concentration of local landmarks such as Taft Sch in Watertown and the prominent Orenaug Hills with its Lookout Tower.
