1967 Map of Rockville

About this map

Rockville sits as the dense industrial and civic heart of this Tolland County landscape, where the Hockanum River and Paper Mill Pond historically powered the local manufacturing base. By the mid-1960s, the rise of the Wilbur Cross Highway had begun to reshape the surrounding towns of Vernon Center and Bolton, bridging the gap between old mill villages and emerging suburban clusters. The map reveals a transition from the compact grid of the city to the more open, wooded terrain of Bolton Notch State Park and the high points of Box Mountain.
