1964 Map of Glastonbury

About this map

Rentschler Airport anchors the northwest corner of this map, reflecting the mid-century industrial and aviation reach of the Hartford area. The suburban expansion of East Hartford Gardens, Forbes Village, and Welles Village transitions into the steep, wooded hills of the Meshomasic State Forest. The map captures the varied topography of Glastonbury, from the flat alluvial expanse of the Glastonbury Meadows State Wildlife Area along the Connecticut River to the high ground of Minnechaug Mtn.
