1953 Map of Scotland

About this map

The Shetucket River curves through the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking a significant boundary between Windham and New London Counties as it flows past the village of Hanover. During the mid-twentieth century, this region remained predominantly rural, characterized by scattered hilltop settlements like Scotland and Howard Valley connected by the historic Windham Turnpike. The terrain is defined by prominent rises such as Pudding Hill and Parrish Hill, with the lower valleys drained by a network of waterways including Merrick Brook and the Little River.
