1966 Map of New Britain

About this map

New Britain and the surrounding industrial corridor of Central Connecticut are captured during a period of significant post-war expansion and suburban transition. The landscape is defined by the prominent ridge line of Metacomet Ridge, which separates the valley floor from elevated landmarks like Rattlesnake Mtn and Pinnacle Rock. This survey highlights the era's infrastructure growth, showcasing the newly developed Interchanges 38 and 39 as the interstate system integrated with established manufacturing hubs.
