1945 Map of East Killingly

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The Connecticut-Rhode Island border divides this 1945 landscape, where the textile-industrial heritage of Windham County meets the upland swamps and high ridges of Providence County. A chain of man-made water bodies including Bog Meadow Reservoir, Eddy Pray Reservoir, and Killingly Pond illustrates the intensive water management required for regional mills. The village of East Killingly sits at a central crossroads, while smaller settlements like Ballouville and Elliotville dot the valleys of the Fivemile River and Whetstone Brook. The eastern terrain is defined by significant elevations like Jerimoth Hill and Mt Hygeia, where rural life is evidenced by the Mt Hygeia School and family landmarks such as Hopkins Cemetery. This survey captures the area just before the mid-century shift away from these established rural and mill-town patterns, preserving the locations of the Hartford and Providence Pike and numerous local woods roads.
