1953 Map of Plainfield

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Quinebaug River winds through this mid-century landscape, anchoring a series of industrial villages and textile centers in eastern Connecticut. Settlements like Plainfield, Moosup, and Central Village are closely tied to the water power of the Quinebaug and Moosup River, connected by the steel rails of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad. The map documents a transition from traditional mill town layouts to modern post-war amenities, evidenced by the appearing Drive-in Theater near Packer.
