1965 Map of Middletown

About this map

The Connecticut River anchors this mid-1960s survey, separating the established city of Middletown from the boroughs of Portland and Gildersleeve to the east. The urban landscape of Middletown is defined by the sprawling campus of Wesleyan University and the Connecticut Valley Hospital complex, while the Arrigoni Bridge provides a vital link across the water. The mapping reveals a mix of industrial infrastructure and civic institutions, with the Conrail line tracing the riverbank and several historic burying grounds, including Indian Hill Cemetery and Pine Grove Cem, preserved within the city limits.
