1944 Map of Manchester

About this map

Manchester and South Manchester serve as the industrial and residential heart of this mid-1940s landscape, where dense street grids meet the winding Hockanum River. The region’s economic lifeblood is clearly tied to the New York New Haven and Hartford RR, which connects the manufacturing centers of Burnside and Hillardville to the broader Connecticut corridor. To the north and west, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural settlements and smaller communities like Wapping and East Windsor Hill, characterized by a high concentration of educational and religious institutions. Genealogists can trace family heritage through numerous burial grounds, including the Jonathan Edwards Cem and St Bridgets Cem. The presence of several high schools, such as Manchester High Sch and Ellsworth High Sch, alongside numerous neighborhood schools like Pleasant Valley Sch and Bunce Sch, illustrates the organized expansion of these suburban townships during the war years.
