1944 Map of South Coventry

About this map

Wangumbaug Lake and the Willimantic River valley anchor this mid-century survey of Tolland County, detailing the educational and institutional growth of the region. The map captures the burgeoning University of Connecticut campus at Storrs, along with the associated University of Conn Experiment Farm. In the south, the village of South Coventry is marked by local heritage sites including the Nathan Hale Birthplace and the Nathan Hale Cem. Transport is defined by the Central Vermont railroad line, which follows the river through Merrow and Mansfield Depot to South Coventry Station. Notable local landmarks like the State Hospital and the Brick Sch indicate the distribution of public services and rural education during this era.
