2012 Map of Meriden

About this map

Ragged Mountain and the Hanging Hills dominate the skyline of this central Connecticut landscape, framing a dense network of suburban growth and industrial heritage. The corridor is defined by the Quinnipiac River, which winds south toward Hanover Pond and the Quinnipiac Gorge. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally rich in burial data, preserving the locations of the Burying Ground 1720 and the South Burying Ground, alongside more modern sites like the Meriden Hebrew Cem and Gethsemane Cem. The map illustrates the convergence of major infrastructure, from the Amtrak line to the intersection of I-91 and I-691, while also highlighting community landmarks such as the Miller Memorial Community and the Kensington Atlantic State Fishing Hatchery. From the heights of West Peak to the residential streets of South Meriden, the document captures a complex urban-wildland interface.
