About This Historic Map

Drawn from an elevated bird's-eye perspective, this map presents Naugatuck in the 1870s, when the area was shaped by its river valley, mills and factories, railroad, and rolling farmland.

Notable features shown on the map include the Naugatuck River threading through the center of the scene, the clustered downtown streets, the large factory complexes rendered in detail along the lower border, and many of the historic roads and villages that shaped life around Naugatuck in the era.
