About this map

The Connecticut River forms the eastern spine of this mid-century landscape, where the agricultural flats of Wethersfield and South Wethersfield meet the industrial and institutional expansion of the wartime era. Surveyed during the height of the 1940s, the map documents a transition from the village centers of Rocky Hill and Newington to a more complex urban-suburban interface. Large-scale institutional footprints are prominent, including the State Prison near The Cove, the State Veterans Home, and the State Institute for Blind.
