1892 Map of Norwich

About this map

The confluence of the Yantic River and Shetucket River defines the industrial and residential heart of this region during the late nineteenth century. In Norwich, the landscape transitions from the urban density of Greenville and Norwich Town to the prominent textile manufacturing centers of Taftville and Occum further upriver. The era’s reliance on rail transport is evident in the convergence of the New London Northern Railroad and the Norwich and Worcester Railroad, which linked these mill towns to broader markets.
