1945 Map of Spring Hill

About this map

The University of Connecticut campus at Storrs anchors the western edge of this 1945 survey, surrounded by the rural landscape of Tolland and Windham Counties. The terrain is defined by the north-south corridors of the Fenton River and Mount Hope River, which carved the valleys that supported early settlements like Gurleyville and Atwoodville. These villages were often oriented around small mills or crossroads, connected by a network of winding roads leading toward the larger hub of Mansfield Center in the south.
