About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the primary geographic corridor through this urban and suburban landscape, where the state capital of Hartford meets its northern neighbors. This 2015 record details the complex residential and institutional patterns of the region, from the Stowe Village Housing Project and Dutch Point Colony to the expansive University of Hartford campus. History is deeply etched into the city's surface through a significant number of burial grounds, including the historic Old North Cemetery, the Ancient Cemetery, and Saint Patrick's Cemetery.

Beyond the city core, the map traces the suburban development of Bloomfield and Windsor, separated by the prominent Metacomet Ridge. The landscape is a network of smaller waterways like Wash Brook and Mill Brook that historically dictated the placement of settlements like Blue Hills and Parkville. The inclusion of institutional landmarks like the Childrens Village of the Hartford Orphan Asylum provides a clear view of the social infrastructure supporting the capital region in the early 21st century.
