1968 Map of Southington

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Southington Mountain divides this Connecticut landscape, separating the residential growth of Southington and Plantsville from the reservoir-dotted uplands to the west. This mid-century record captures a period of significant suburban expansion, evidenced by the cluster of modern schools like Kennedy Jr High Sch and the development of the I-84 corridor through Marion and Milldale. Deeply rooted history remains visible in the numerous burial sites, from the Northwest Burying Ground to the Olde Burying Ground near the Quinnipiac River. In the southern portion, the State Reformatory stands as a significant landmark in Cheshire, while the western hills around Wolcott are defined by water management features like the Scovill Reservoir and Hitchcock Lake. This survey illustrates the transition from a traditional New England manufacturing and farming valley into a modern residential hub connected by a newly built interstate system.
