1956 Map of Tariffville

About this map

Manitook Lake and the dramatic relief of Manitock Mountain dominate this mid-century portrait of the Farmington Valley. The landscape reveals a transition from the agricultural heritage of Granby and Simsbury toward mid-century development, evidenced by the Simsbury Landing Field and the sprawling Mc Lean Game Refuge. Small crossroads settlements like North Granby, West Granby, and Five Points retain their distinct character, while the industrial legacy of the region is marked by a Quarry near the northern border and the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line.
