1944 Map of Marlboro

About this map

Marlboro and Gilead anchor this mid-1940s landscape, which spans the intersection of Hartford and Tolland counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of local water bodies and brooks, including Lake Terramuggus and the Blackledge River, alongside large marshy tracts such as Bishop Swamp and Daly Swamp. This era of the Connecticut countryside was characterized by small district schoolhouses and family-named landmarks, many of which are documented here before post-war suburban shifts altered the rural character.
