2024 Map of Windsor Locks

About this map

Windsor Locks and the surrounding Hartford County landscape are defined by the convergence of the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook and the prominent rising spine of the Metacomet Ridge. This modern survey reveals a complex mix of deep-rooted Connecticut history and major transportation infrastructure, centered on Bradley International Airport. Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous burial sites, from the Old Poquonock Burying Ground near the river to the Captain John Viets Cem and the Prisoners Cem further west. The map documents the continued presence of established neighborhoods like West Suffield, Poquonock, and East Granby, alongside landmarks such as Camp Hartel and the New England National Scenic Trail. The drainage patterns of Phelps Brook and Muddy Brook highlight the area's geography, providing a clear view of how development has integrated with the natural wetlands and ridges of north-central Connecticut.
