2021 Map of Middletown

About this map

Middletown serves as the central hub of this South Central Connecticut landscape, defined by the winding course of the Connecticut River and the dramatic elevations of the Metacomet Ridge. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of educational and spiritual landmarks, including Wesleyan University and the Holy Apostles College and Seminary. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Higby Mtn and Lamentation Mtn, providing a natural boundary that separates the river valley from the neighboring settlement of Meriden. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably detailed in its identification of resting places, from the Old Burying Ground Cem and Saint Sebastian Cem to the State Veterans Cem near South Farms. The transportation network is anchored by the Arrigoni Bridge, which links the bustling street grids to Gildersleeve and Cromwell across the water, while the Mattabesset Trolley Trl follows the path of the Mattabesset River to the north.
