1944 Map of Marlboro

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Marlboro and the surrounding Hartford and Tolland County landscape are captured here just before the mid-century, showing a rural New England network of small schoolhouses and family-named hills. The Blackledge River and Salmon River drain a terrain marked by numerous local schools like Birch Mtn Sch, White Sch, and Bolton South Sch, highlighting the decentralized community structure of the time. Evidence of the region’s earlier manufacturing can be seen along the watercourses, notably at Shoddy Mill Brook near the Townsend Cem. The area is anchored by Gilead and the shores of Lake Terramuggus, while the Fire Tower atop John Tom Hill stands as a prominent sentinel over the wooded ridges. This topographical study provides a detailed look at the 1940s road system, including the Boston and New York Road, before modern highway expansions altered these historic connectors.
