1946 Map of Southington

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Southington Mountain stands as a central topographic divide in this mid-1940s landscape, separating the industrial and residential growth of Southington from the reservoirs and rugged terrain of Wolcott. The eastern valley is defined by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad corridor, which links the manufacturing centers of Plantsville, Milldale, and Marion. To the west, the economy appears more centered on water management and rural life, evidenced by the clustered Southington Reservoir No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, alongside several historic cemeteries including the Northeast Burying Ground. South of the Hartford and New Haven County line, the State Reformatory and the village of Cheshire mark the lower reaches of the map, where the Quinnipiac River and Tenmile River drainage systems shape the local geography.
