1953 Map of Jewett City

About this map

Jewett City sits at the industrial heart of this mid-century landscape, positioned where the Pachaug River meets the Quinebaug River. The surrounding terrain in Griswold and Voluntown is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including the expansive Pachaug Pond and the Aspinook Pond reservoir. This era shows a transition from rural mill-oriented settlements like Glasgo and Clayville toward established conservation areas such as Pachaug State Forest. Local infrastructure is well-detailed, featuring several educational and religious landmarks like the Bethel Ch, Glasgo Sch, and Northwest Corner Sch. Genealogists will find value in the named cemeteries and small community clusters such as Doaneyville and Rix Town, while the path of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad underscores the region's historical connectivity.
