1892 Map of Granby

About this map

Collinsville and New Hartford serve as industrial and transport hubs along the Farmington River in this late nineteenth-century survey of Hartford County. The landscape is defined by the river's winding path through tight valleys, most notably at the evocatively named Satans Kingdom. The region's economy is clearly tied to its rail infrastructure, with the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad Collinsville Branch and the Central New England and Western Railroad connecting mill towns like Pine Meadow and Tariffville to the wider world.
