1944 Map of Broad Brook

About this map

The Connecticut River forms the western boundary of this 1944 survey, where the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad follows the bank north through Warehouse Point toward Thompsonville. This period of wartime development is reflected in the dense settlement patterns around industrial hubs like Hazardville and the milling operations at Sadda Mill. The landscape is defined by the meandering Scantic River and its numerous tributaries, including Buckhorn Brook and Ketch Brook, which supported the early agricultural and manufacturing growth of Enfield and East Windsor. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, such as St Patricks Cem and King St Cem, alongside local institutions like the County Home and several rural schoolhouses, including the Wallop Sch.
