2018 Map of Windsor Locks

About this map

Bradley International Airport anchors the center of this Connecticut landscape, surrounded by the established settlements of Windsor Locks, Suffield, and East Granby. The geography is defined by the sharp rise of Metacomet Ridge and the winding course of the Farmington River, which passes under the Spoonville Bridge near Birchwood. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notably dense with burial sites, ranging from the Ye Olde Poquonock Burial Grounds to the uniquely named Captain John Viets Cem Prisoners Cem near Peak Mountain. Small ponds and brooks, such as Olds and Whipple Pond and Stony Brook, provide a detailed view of the local drainage patterns that shaped the early industrial and agricultural development of these Hartford County towns.
