About this map

The Connecticut River defines the eastern edge of this region, flowing past Cromwell and the historic heart of Middletown. This urban and suburban landscape is anchored by Wesleyan University and South Farms, showing a dense network of neighborhoods such as Bretton Heights and Newfield Heights. The topography is marked by the dramatic basalt ridges of the Metacomet Ridge, including Lamentation Mountain and Higby Mountain, which are traversed by the New England National Scenic Trail.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites documented, from the Old Burying Ground Cemetery to the Washington Street Cemetery and the Veterans Cemetery. The map also captures the industrial and transport history of the area, including the Central New England Railroad corridor and the significant Arrigoni Bridge connecting the riverbanks. To the west, the landscape transitions toward Middlefield and Baileyville, where elevations like Powder Hill and Beseck Mountain overlook the surrounding valleys.
