2010 Map of Hartford West

About this map

Hartford and its western rural surroundings are defined by a complex network of waterways and early twentieth-century infrastructure. The Rubicon River winds through the landscape, feeding the Hartford Millpond at the Hartford-1855C14 Dam, while the Ashippun River drains the southern portion of the quadrangle near Druid Lake. This 2010 survey illustrates a mix of small-town development and agricultural heritage, with the settlements of Rubicon and Saylesville remaining as key regional nodes. Local history is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds, including Saint Killian Cemetery and Hallowell Cemetery. The presence of the Hartford Municipal Airport and modern industrial naming conventions like Innovation Way contrast with the older mill-based hydrology of Neosho Millpond, showing the gradual evolution of Washington County from a water-powered economy to a contemporary transportation and light-industrial hub.
