About this map

Hartford and its northern suburbs are captured in a period of intense post-war urbanization and infrastructure expansion. The Connecticut River serves as the central anchor for the region, bordered by industrial pumping stations and the meadows of South Windsor. This 1960s revision illustrates the dense concentration of educational and religious institutions that defined the local social landscape, ranging from the University of Hartford and Loomis Institute to the American School for the Deaf.

Major transportation arteries like the Bissell Bridge and the Central Vermont RR show the connectivity between Windsor, Bloomfield, and the state capital. Significant landmarks such as the State Supreme Court and Hartford Hospital are visible alongside specialized facilities like the State Institute for the Blind, providing a detailed record of the city's civic and social service core during a time of significant growth and change.
