About this map

The Connecticut River shoreline and the eastern uplands of Hartford County define this 2018 survey of the region. Glastonbury Center serves as the focal point, surrounded by residential clusters like Welles Village and East Hartford Gardens. The landscape transitions from the riparian Glastonbury Meadows to the prominent heights of Minnechaug Mtn and Kongscut Mtn. Traces of the area's development are evident in the path of the New London Tpke and the many named cemeteries, including the Old Church Cem and Saint James Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research.

Water features are abundant throughout the interior, from the Nipsic Bog to several industrial-era landmarks like Shoddy Mill Pond. The terrain is marked by notable elevations such as Crystal Ridge and Bush Hill, illustrating the varied topography of the Capitol Planning Region. Local history is further preserved through the identification of smaller settlements like Addison and Hopewell, as well as the borders of Hartford and Middlesex counties.
