2023 Map of Plainfield

About this map

Plainfield Village and Moosup anchor this portrait of the Quinebaug River valley, where industrial-era hamlets follow the water's edge. The landscape is dense with genealogical landmarks, particularly family and church burial grounds like the Tillinghast Memorial Cem and the Joseph Roode Farm Cem, illustrating the deep-rooted agrarian and early manufacturing history of eastern Connecticut. The Quinebaug River winds through the center of the sheet, widening into Aspinook Pond and passing Peagscomsuck Island near the cluster of Central Village. To the west, the more rural township of Canterbury is defined by a series of prominent rises including Morgan Hill and Black Hill. This recent survey details the modern suburban density superimposed over the historic textile mill corridor that originally shaped settlements like Wauregan and Clayville.
