1943 Map of Plainfield

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Quinebaug River and Moosup River converge in this mid-century portrait of eastern Connecticut, anchoring a landscape defined by riverside textile villages and crossing rail lines. In the community of Plainfield, the grid of industry is evident near Evans Pond, while the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad connects the busy corridors of Wauregan and Moosup. Away from the river valleys, the terrain rises toward Shepherd Hill and Black Hill, where smaller settlements like Packer and Lathrop are situated along winding roads such as Hartford Road. Local genealogy and land use are well-documented through numerous burial grounds, including Plainfield Cem and St Johns Cem, alongside rural educational landmarks like the Frost Sch and Baldwin Sch.
