About this map

The Connecticut River marks the western boundary of this Connecticut landscape, where the fertile Glastonbury Meadows transition into the uplands of Meshomasic Mtn and Kongscut Mtn. The historic settlement pattern is visible through concentrated centers like Glastonbury Center, South Glastonbury, and Addison, while the New London Tpke bisects the terrain. Many of the area's smaller villages, including Hopewell and Buckingham, are anchored by long-standing local landmarks.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records preserved across the township, from the central Glastonbury Green Cem to the outlying Old Buckingham Cem and Still Hill Cem. The industrial and agricultural heritage of the region is reflected in the numerous named water bodies, such as Addison Pond, Shoddy Mill Pond, and Williams Pond, which historically supported local mills and community development.
