1953 Map of Spring Hill

About this map

The University of Connecticut campus at Storrs serves as a prominent focal point in this mid-century survey of the eastern Highlands. The landscape is defined by the parallel south-flowing paths of the Fenton River and Mount Hope River, which carve through a series of north-south ridges including Wormwood Hill and Tower Hill. This era captures the region's transition from a rural agricultural base to a growing academic and residential hub, while still preserving large tracts of the Natchaug State Forest.
