1955 Map of Woodbury

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Regina Laudis Priory and the surrounding hills of Litchfield County define this landscape during a period of post-war suburban transition. The map illustrates the historic core of Woodbury and North Woodbury, where the Pomperaug River and Nonewaug River converge amidst a series of prominent peaks like Caleb Hill and the Orenaug Hills. Updated with 1970s revisions, the sheet shows the growth of residential areas around Lake Quassapaug and Lake Winnemaug, while still preserving the footprints of long-established institutions such as the Taft Sch and multiple local burying grounds including North Cem and South Cem. This cartographic record captures the Litchfield Hills just as modern highway improvements began to further connect these once-secluded rural townships to the larger regional economy.
