If you grew up in Weston, or you’ve ever hiked the trails at Devil’s Den, you’ll find your town on this map just as it stands in 2026. Look for your road. Weston Road, Norfield Road, Newtown Turnpike, Georgetown Road, Cannondale Road, Good Hill Road, River Road, Valley Forge Road, West Branch Road, Broad Street, Lords Highway East and Old Redding Road are all printed by name, along with many more.
Weston is in Fairfield County, just north of Westport in southwestern Connecticut.
KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data, and gave it the look of an old atlas. The shaded hills, from Godfrey Corner and Devil’s Den in the north down the Saugatuck River valley, come from United States Geological Survey elevation data. The streets and the town line come from the Census Bureau, right down to roads like Davis Hill Road. Weston, Godfrey Corner and Lyons Plain are printed by name. A guide of 26 numbered landmarks runs along the bottom, with the National Register sites marked, and we checked those against National Park Service records.

Norfield Parish to Weston
People hunted in these hills as long as 5,000 years ago, and the Paugussett and other groups were here when the English came. Weston’s first settlers were farmers from Fairfield, whose bounds reached up this far until the late 1700s, and the Norfield Parish took in the land that’s now Weston and Easton. In 1787 the parish was incorporated as the Town of Weston. That’s the year on the title panel: Incorporated 1787. Easton split off in 1845.
Early settlers cut timber and burned charcoal, and the Aspetuck and Saugatuck Rivers powered forges and foundries that made Lyons Plain and Valley Forge busy little centers. Farmers grew apples, onions and potatoes in the rocky soil. On December 14, 1807, a meteor exploded over the town, and six pieces weighing 28 pounds in all were found and studied by scientists. Weston never got a railroad, and between the Civil War and 1930 its population fell to 670. Then artists, writers and actors from New York began to settle here in the 1930s, and the Merritt Parkway, which reached south of town in 1938, brought more. At the 2020 census Weston had 10,354 people. Click here to learn more about the history of Weston.

Weston Center
The cluster of numbers in the south of the map, where Weston Road meets Norfield Road, is Weston’s town center, with its few stores and the Weston Post Office (4). From 1795 to 1920 it was called Norfield, and the guide marks it as the Norfield Historic District (20), listed on the National Register in 1991. Its centerpiece is the Norfield Congregational Church, built in 1831, which still holds Sunday services. Behind it, the Middle District School of 1840 was enlarged to serve as the parish house. Weston Town Hall (16), from 1953, with a Georgian Revival front and a slate roof, and the Weston Public Library (5) are just to the southwest.
All four public schools are close together on School Road: Hurlbutt Elementary School (21), Weston Intermediate School (9), which opened in 2005, Weston Middle School (6) and Weston High School (17). Bisceglie-Scribner Park (18) is near them, and the Weston Gun Club (15) and the Weston-Wilton Forest Reserve (11) are to the southwest.
Kettle Creek and Lyons Plain
South of the center, along Weston Road above Broad Street, is the Kettle Creek Historic District (24), one of the earliest settled parts of town. It’s a small crossroads village of four houses, three of them built before 1800, and it takes its name from a brook and an old school district. Weston Road was a main route from the coast up to Danbury, and Scribner’s Tavern, which survives in part in one of the old houses here, was a stagecoach stop. The Weston History & Culture Center (25) is south of the center too.
In the southeast, along Lyons Plain Road near the Saugatuck River, is the Bradley Edge Tool Company Historic District (26), listed in 1995. Gershom W. Bradley founded the company in 1834 on the site of a comb factory, and it made farm tools, later specializing in tools for Southern plantations. By 1870 it was the only one of the town’s nine manufacturers of 1850 still thriving. The factory burned in 1911, but more than 30 houses built for the Bradleys and their workers still stand, among them Miles Bradley’s Italianate house of 1859 with its double bullseye windows. Emmanuel Episcopal Church (22) and the Katharine Ordway Preserve (8) are in the southeast too, and the Aspetuck Valley Country Club (12) is out east.
Devil’s Den and the North
The Lucius Pond Ordway-Devil’s Den Preserve (13), 1,746 acres in Weston and Redding, is the largest preserve in Fairfield County, and with 40,000 visits a year it’s the busiest run by The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut. Its name comes from the charcoal makers, who said a hoof-shaped mark in a boulder was the Devil’s footprint. A sawmill once stood below Godfrey Pond. In April 1777 local families are thought to have hidden here while British troops marched north to destroy the supply depot at Danbury. Katharine Ordway bought the first 1,100 acres in 1966. The main entrance is at the end of Pent Road, and there are 20 miles of trails. Devils Glen Park (1) is in the northeast, Lachat Town Farm (3) is up near Godfrey Corner, and the Tall Pines Preserve (2), the Walter Wagner Preserve (7), the Taylor Woods Preserve (19), the Elizabeth Luce Moore Preserve (23), St. Francis of Assisi Church (10) and the Girl Scout Camp (14) are in the guide too.
