Link to the USGS Topographic Map Explorer. This site allows users to superimpose USGS maps that date back as far as the 1890’s over modern day maps of most communities. The gap between Easton’s representation in historical atlas maps spans 1867 to 1931, so the topographical maps done by the USGS in the 1890’s and 19-teens does an excellent job of filling in some of the blanks when it comes to showing long abandoned roads and the addition of many buildings during those years. These maps are best used on a PC where they can be greatly enlarged to cover small areas in greater detail. Simply type in the name of a town, click on the area you wish to view and then choose from a list of available USGS maps that cover that area that are listed below. Note that Easton is covered by two USGS maps with the general dividing line around Center Road. The example below shows a 1915 Danbury area map aligning with a 1893 Norwalk area map, they align perfectly to show Easton c.1893- 1915. A special thanks goes out to HSE patron Noel Quinton for bringing this feature to our attention. USGS Historical Topographic Map Explorer (arcgis.com)
