1966 Map of New Britain

About this map

Farmington River and its surrounding uplands define this mid-century portrait of Central Connecticut. The landscape is marked by the sharp relief of Farmington Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn, along which the Metacomet Trail winds through the woods. The map captures a period of significant suburban expansion, notably shown through the dense concentration of schools like Conard High Sch and Pulaski High Sch, alongside numerous religious and civic institutions such as the Hill-Stead Museum and Mary Immaculate Sem.
