1953 Map of Scotland

About this map

Scotland sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, surrounded by a landscape of named hills and winding brooks that defined rural life in eastern Connecticut. The Little River and Merrick Brook systems drain south toward the Shetucket River, where the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad tracks parallel the water at the boundary between Windham Co and New London Co. Local centers like Westminster and Hanover are documented alongside specialized infrastructure like the Hanover Reservoir and a Gaging Station on the Little River.
