The map is not exhaustive, but it shows CT before many "newer" towns were formed/incorporated and gives a good sense for how development was prioritized. by CTHistory42 I might be bad at reading maps but it seems that the route from new Milford to new Fairfield would be impossible now because of candlewood lake, which was made in 1928. Crazy how something so big and such a staple of the area is man made. Permalink 8
