Norwalk South Connecticut Stamford Darien USGS Topo Map 1963

$42

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1960 edition printed in 1963, in very good condition on thick stock with a midsheet horizontal foldline and clean map area free of markings or blemishes. Covering roughly seven by nine miles of Connecticut’s Fairfield County coast, the quad area takes in Norwalk, Darien, and portions of Stamford and Westport along Long Island Sound. Drawn from 1949 and 1951 aerial and field surveys, it records this stretch of the Connecticut shoreline at the close of the 1950s, before decades of suburban growth reshaped the towns between Stamford and Westport.
