1964 Map of Hartford North

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this mid-1960s portrait of Connecticut's capital and its burgeoning suburbs. The urban core of Hartford is densely detailed, showing civic landmarks like the State Supreme Court and State Library alongside significant medical and educational institutions including St Francis Hospital and the University of Hartford. Transportation networks are a dominant theme, with major crossings like the Bissell Bridge and Bulkeley Bridge connecting the city to East Hartford. To the north and west, the landscape transitions into the residential and academic corridors of Windsor and Bloomfield. Here, the prominent campus of the Loomis Institute and the St Thomas Seminary stand out against a backdrop of local brooks such as Wash Brook and Tumble Brook. Large cemetery tracts, including Mount St Benedict Cemetery and the Old North Cemetery, provide clear landmarks for genealogical research within the urban and suburban fabric.
