1945 Map of Hartford North

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing the densely developed streets of Hartford and East Hartford from the northern agricultural and suburban reaches of Bloomfield and Windsor. The landscape is a dense network of institutional and educational landmarks, featuring the sprawling Loomis Institute near the confluence of the Farmington River and the river-crossing Bulkeley Bridge. Urban development is concentrated south of Keney Park, where dozens of neighborhood schools like Weaver High Sch and Vine St Sch appear alongside major civic sites including the State Capitol and St Francis Hospital. The industrial and transit infrastructure is anchored by the New York New Haven and Hartford RR, which follows the riverbank, while numerous cemeteries such as Mt St Benedict Cemetery and Old North Cem mark the heritage of these long-established communities.
