About this map

Rockville stands as a primary focal point at the northern edge of this study, where the Hockanum River and Paper Mill Pond reflect the area's industrial heritage. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies and historical burial grounds, including Grove Hill Cem and Saint Bernards Cem. Moving south, the terrain rises toward Fox Hill and Box Hill, with Railroad Brook carving a path toward the scenic Bolton Notch Pond.

The map documents the established residential and commercial patterns of Vernon, Manchester, and Bolton, connected by the prominent Hartford Tpke and Boston Tpke. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of local landmarks such as Elmwood Cem and Quarryville Cem. The transition from the more developed centers to the elevated slopes of Birch Mtn and Grant Hill illustrates the varied geography of the Tolland Co and Hartford Co border region.
