About this map

Hartford and its southern suburbs occupy a landscape defined by the wide curves of the Connecticut River and the basalt rise of Metacomet Ridge. This modern survey illustrates the dense residential and educational fabric of the region, anchored by institutions like Trinity College and Goodwin College. The river's influence is clear at Wethersfield Cove and Keeney Cove, where recreational waters meet the industrial footprint of Hartford-Brainard Airport.

Tracing south through Wethersfield and Rocky Hill, the map preserves a deep record of local heritage through numerous burial grounds, including the Old South Cem and Hockanum Cem. The terrain transitions from the alluvial plains of the Great Meadow Rd area to the heights of Cedar Mtn and Wolf Pit Hill. The transportation network is a complex layering of modern corridors like I-91 alongside the historic Amtrak rail line, which continues to serve communities like Newington Junction.
