2015 Map of Hartford South

About this map

The Connecticut River defines the eastern boundary of this mid-decade landscape, where the shifting sands of Clay Banks Bar and Wethersfield Shoal meet the developed corridors of the Capitol Planning Region. In the northern reaches, the Hartford-Brainard Airport sits adjacent to the river, while the William Putnam Memorial Bridge links Wethersfield to East Hartford. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Wethersfield Cove to the prominent heights of Cedar Mtn and Metocomet Ridge, illustrating the diverse geography that shaped local development. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of burial sites, including the Old South Cem, Veterans Cem, and Hockanum Cem. From the residential pockets of Saybrooke Village and Elmwood to the industrial and transport hubs of Newington Junction, this survey captures the dense network of roads and waterways, such as Trout Brook and Piper Brook, that define the suburban character of the area south of Hartford.
