About this map

The Hanging Hills and Metacomet Ridge dominate the central landscape of this 2021 study, framing the urban expansion of Meriden. The map documents a dense network of civic and religious history, notably through a significant concentration of cemeteries including the Meriden Hebrew Cem, Saint Patricks Cem, and Broad Street Cem. These sites, alongside landmarks like the New Haven Judicial District Superior Court at Meriden, illustrate the long-standing community structure of the region.

Infrastructure and recreation are represented by the Meriden Markham Municipal Airport and the New England National Scenic Trl, which traverses the peaks of Lamentation Mtn and Chauncey Peak. Water features like Hanover Pond and the Quinnipiac Gorge highlight the area's industrial roots and natural drainage patterns, while smaller settlements such as South Meriden and Tracy mark the continuing residential development between the prominent ridgelines.
