1946 Map of Glastonbury

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Glastonbury and its neighboring villages are mapped here during the mid-1940s, revealing a landscape defined by the winding Connecticut River and the high ridges of Minnechaug Mtn and Kongscut Mtn. The area is notably dense with early burial grounds, including the Glastonbury Green Cem, Old Church Cem, and Still Hill Cem, providing a rich resource for genealogical research. Settlement patterns follow the historical transportation corridors, most notably along the New London Turnpike as it cuts through the hills toward the southeast. Small industrial and agricultural hamlets like Addison, Hopewell, and South Glastonbury are well-defined, while the presence of a Quarry near the Hartford Co Middlesex Co line points to local industry. From the Glastonbury Meadows to the high elevations of Meshomasic Mtn, the map captures the transition from riverine agriculture to the wooded uplands of central Connecticut.
