1928 Map of Manchester

About this map

The Connecticut River defines the western edge of this landscape, which transitioned from agrarian settlements to industrial hubs in the late 1920s. Small hamlets like East Windsor Hill and Wapping are scattered across the northern reaches, while the southern section reveals the denser development of Manchester and South Manchester. The map captures a critical period of infrastructure, showing the New York New Haven and Hartford rail lines connecting local mills and commerce centers. Insight into the area's hydraulic history is visible through the positioning of Vintons Mills and industrial activity at Burnside along the Hockanum River. This sheet represents an early use of aerial photography for topographic compilation, as noted by Glenn S. Smith and the U.S. Army Air Corps, providing an exceptionally detailed view of the field patterns and road networks before mid-century suburbanization.
