About this map

The Connecticut River forms the western boundary of this landscape, where the fertile Glastonbury Meadows transition into a series of hills and suburban clusters. The town center is densely settled, while outlying villages like Hopewell, Addison, and Buckingham maintain distinct identities marked by local landmarks and burial grounds. The map captures a high density of historical sites, particularly cemeteries such as Still Hill Cem, Old Eastbury Cem, and Nipsic Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for local genealogy.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Roaring Brook and Salmon Brook cutting through the terrain toward the river. To the east, the elevation rises toward Minnechaug Mountain and Kongscut Mountain, framing the residential growth of East Glastonbury. This survey reflects the modern road network while preserving the names of the small communities, such as Cotton Hollow and Taylor Town, that define the area's historical development.
