1964 Map of Hartford North

About this map

The Connecticut River bisects this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the geographic anchor for the dense urban growth of Hartford and its surrounding suburbs. The capital city is meticulously detailed, showing the State Capitol, State Supreme Court, and the Armory near Pope Park. This era captures the significant expansion of educational and religious institutions, including the University of Hartford, Loomis Institute, and the St Thomas Seminary. To the north and west, the transitions into Bloomfield and Windsor reveal a mix of residential development and older infrastructure, such as Old Iron Ore Road. Significant transportation links like the Bissell Bridge and the New York New Haven and Hartford RR illustrate the region's role as a major New England transit hub during the height of the post-war period.
