1983 Map of Plainfield

About this map

The Quinebaug River and Moosup River define the industrial and residential corridors of this eastern Connecticut landscape, where textile mill heritage meets a late-20th-century transportation network. By the early 1980s, the Connecticut Turnpike and the Conrail lines intersect near concentrated settlements like Central Village and Wauregan. The area's genealogical record is well-preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem, Carey Cem, and Union Cem. To the east, the Pachaug State Forest provides a sharp contrast to the developed valley, while the presence of the Plainfield Greyhound Park and the Fish Hatchery within the Quinebaug State Management Area illustrates the varied land use of the era, from commercial recreation to state-led conservation. Smaller hamlets like Packer and Canterbury remain anchored by landmarks such as Packers Pond and the Baldwin Sch.
