1983 Map of Norwich

About this map

The confluence of the Shetucket River, Yantic River, and Quinebaug River forms the Thames River at Norwich, creating a landscape defined by its industrial and maritime history. By the early 1980s, this area reflects a dense concentration of educational and medical institutions, including Mohegan Community College, Thames Valley State Tech School, and the Uncas on Thames Hospital. The textile heritage of the region is evident in the layout of mill villages like Baltic, Taftville, and Versailles, where worker housing and industrial ponds like Taftville Pond and Versailles Pond still frame the local geography.
