About this map

Marlboro and the surrounding borderlands of Hartford and Tolland counties are meticulously documented in this mid-war survey. The landscape is defined by the Blackledge River and numerous tributaries like Sawmill Brook and Fawn Brook that feed into the Salmon River. Evidence of early industrial activity persists at Shoddy Mill in the northern section, while the local infrastructure is anchored by several rural schoolhouses, including Bolton South Sch and the Northwest Sch.

Topographical prominent points such as John Tom Hill, equipped with a Fire Tower, and Birch Mountain overlook a network of established thoroughfares like the New Haven and Hartford Road and Strickland Road. Recreational and natural water bodies are scattered throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the prominent Lake Terramuggus to smaller basins like Warner Pond and Diamond Lake. Genealogists will find the Townsend Cem near the eastern boundary, providing a specific point of interest for local family histories.
