2012 Map of New Britain

About this map

Farmington and Plainville serve as anchor points in this landscape defined by a dense network of suburban development and industrial infrastructure. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges such as Rattlesnake Mountain and Bradley Mountain, which channel the flow of the Quinnipiac River and Pequabuck River. A high concentration of historic cemeteries, including the Old Farmington Cem and Old Saint Mary Roman Catholic Cem, provides deep genealogical value for researchers tracing long-standing community roots. The presence of Connecticut University and several distinct housing developments like Pinnacle Heights Housing reflects the late-20th-century expansion of the region. Significant water management features, notably the Shuttle Meadow Reservoir and Wassel Reservoir, underscore the importance of local water resources for the surrounding municipalities, while Robertson Field Airport highlights the area's role in local aviation and transport.
