1953 Map of Spring Hill

About this map

The University of Connecticut campus at Storrs serves as a major focal point in this mid-century survey of eastern Connecticut. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Mount Hope River and the Natchaug River, which feed into the Willimantic Reservoir near Mansfield Hollow. This era reveals a network of small, established villages and crossroads such as Gurleyville, Atwoodville, and Warrenville, many of which maintain distinct local identities through their own schools and cemeteries.
