1955 Map of Southington

About this map

Southington Mountain dominates the central landscape of this mid-century survey, dividing the suburban expansion of Southington and Plantsville from the more topographically diverse western terrain. The watershed is heavily managed, featuring a sequence of major catchments including the New Britain Reservoir and three distinct Southington Reservoirs, while Hitchcock Lake provides a localized center for residential development. Historically significant burial sites like the Northeast Burying Ground and Southeast Burying Ground are clearly marked, offering valuable points of reference for genealogists.
