2015 Map of Meriden

About this map

The Hanging Hills and the prominent Metacomet Ridge dominate this central Connecticut landscape, creating a dramatic corridor for the Quinnipiac River and its associated Quinnipiac Gorge. In the city of Meriden, the built environment is densely packed around historical centers like East Meriden and South Meriden, reflecting the area's industrial legacy. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, ranging from the colonial-era Burying Ground 1720 to the Meriden Hebrew Cem and Gethsemane Cem. The map illustrates the region's complex water management system, featuring numerous reservoirs like Hallmere Reservoir and Kenmere Reservoir, alongside recreational landmarks such as Dossin Park Beach on Hanover Pond. Transportation routes follow the natural topography, with the New England National Scenic Trail traversing the heights of Lamentation Mtn and Cathole Mtn, while the Meriden Markham Municipal Airport occupies the flatter land to the south near Tracy.
