1945 Map of East Killingly

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

East Killingly and the surrounding borderlands of Connecticut and Rhode Island are defined by a complex network of reservoirs and narrow stream valleys during the mid-1940s. The landscape is heavily industrial yet rural, with the Fivemile River powering settlements like Ballouville in the northwest, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by the high ground of Jerimoth Hill and Mt Hygeia. This era shows a dense infrastructure of textile-era water management, including the Eddy Pray Reservoir, Middle Reservoir, and Alvia Chase Reservoir, which supported the mills and communities along Whetstone Brook. Genealogists will find significant detail in the rural districts, where scattered local institutions like Valley Sch and the Titus Sch served families living between the rocky heights of Mashentuck Mountain and the swampy lowlands of Honey pot Swamp. The map also captures the early automotive routes of the Hartford Pike and Danielson Pike as they cross the state line into Foster.
