1964 Map of Hartford South

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the eastern anchor of this 1964 survey, defining the industrial and civic development of southern Hartford and its neighboring towns. To the west, the prominent ridge of Cedar Mountain overlooks a landscape of growing postwar suburbs and established institutions, including Trinity College and the sprawling Cedar Hill Cemetery. The era's transportation shifts are evident in the path of the Wilbur Cross Highway and the Penn Central tracks, which serve the commercial centers of Newington Junction and Wethersfield. Southward, the State Veterans Home in Rocky Hill stands near the river's bend, while specialized facilities like the State Institute for Blind and the Cedarcrest State Sanatorium reflect the region's concentration of healthcare and educational infrastructure during the mid-century period.
