About this map

The Connecticut River and Farmington River define the development of this northern Hartford County landscape in the late 1920s. Established settlements like Windsor and Bloomfield are shown alongside emerging residential pockets such as Cottage Grove and Wilson. The dense grid of Hartford dominates the lower portion of the sheet, illustrating the transition from urban centers to the agricultural and suburban outskirts of West Hartford and Bloomfield.

Industrial and transport corridors are prominently marked by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which parallels the river valley. To the east, the Podunk River and Hockanum River wind through South Windsor and East Hartford, where the settlement of Silver Lane is located. This survey, compiled from aerial photographs by the Air Corps, provides a clear view of the road networks and watercourses like Wash Brook and Noyes River before the significant expansion of the mid-20th century.
