1984 Map of Marlborough

About this map

Harrisville and Dublin anchor this mid-1980s landscape in Cheshire County, where industrial heritage meets academic life. The mapping shows a dense network of water resources that once powered New England manufacturing, including Silver Lake, Harrisville Pond, and the Howe Reservoir. Notable cultural sites such as the Dublin Christian Academy and the Dublin Spire are marked alongside local burying grounds like Pine Grove Cem and Rhodes Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Skatutakee Mtn and Hinds Hill, which hem in the numerous ponds and bogs that define the region's hydrology. Public lands like Otter Brook State Park and the Leighton State Forest illustrate the area's protected woodlands, while the presence of a Quarry near Marlborough points to the local extraction industry of the era.
