1967 Map of Meriden

About this map

Meriden occupies a central position on this sheet, bounded by the steep trap rock ridges of Lamentation Mountain to the east and the Hanging Hills to the west. The mid-century urban landscape is heavily developed around the Penn Central rail corridor, with numerous civic institutions such as City Hall, the Public Works Bldg, and the State School for Boys serving the community. Residential neighborhoods expand toward South Meriden and Stillmans Corner, while industrial and utility sites like the Substation and Quarry indicate the local economic base.
