1945 Map of Middletown

About this map

Middletown serves as the focal point for this mid-1940s survey, situated along the western bank of the Connecticut River across from Portland. The city’s institutional landscape is well-defined, featuring the campus of Wesleyan University and the extensive grounds of the State Hospital and Long Lane State Farm. Local industry and social infrastructure are evident in the clustering of churches, such as St Johns Cem, and the presence of the Swedish Orphanage and Cromwell Hall in the neighboring town of Cromwell.
