1944 Map of Hartford

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The Barge Canal cuts through the northwest corner of this Washington County landscape, anchoring the transit corridor near Smiths Basin. Moving eastward, the terrain transitions into a complex system of ridges and lowlands dominated by the expansive Tamarack Swamp and the high elevations of Argyle Mountain and Black Mtn. The mid-1940s road network, featuring routes 40, 149, and 196, connects several small agricultural hubs including Hartford, South Hartford, and Belcher. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves specific cultural landmarks such as the Adamsville Cem and Salem Sch. The drainage patterns of Big Creek and Moses Kill illustrate how the natural geography dictated the placement of these early settlements and winding rural lanes.
