1953 Map of Glastonbury

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The sprawling Glastonbury Meadows along the Connecticut River anchor this mid-century look at East Hartford and Glastonbury. Settlement patterns follow the river and the arterial roads leading east toward Minnechaug Mtn, where the landscape transitions from residential villages like Welles Village and Naubuc into the wooded uplands of the Meshomasic State Forest. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds, including the Old Burying Cem and Glastonbury Green Cem, alongside numerous parish cemeteries such as St Augustine Cem. The presence of industrial and recreational water features like Shoddy Mill Pond and Treat Pond suggests the region's historical reliance on local waterways. In the north, Rentschler Airport stands near Forbes Village, marking the early aviation era in the Connecticut River valley.
