1953 Map of Plainfield

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Quinebaug River dictates the industrial and social geometry of this portion of Windham County, where the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad parallels the water to serve textile and manufacturing hubs. Dense village clusters like Wauregan and Moosup are shown at a high level of detail, reflecting the era's transition from early industrial centers to post-war residential expansion. In Plainfield, the concentration of structures around Evans Pond and the presence of a Drive-in Theater along Tarbox Road illustrate the shift toward automobile-centered recreation.
