1928 Map of Windsor Locks

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

The Farmington River winds through this 1928 aerial compilation, anchoring a landscape defined by its industrial and agricultural centers just before the Great Depression. The map highlights the significant rail corridor of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which served established settlements like Windsor Locks and Suffield. This survey is notable for being an "advance sheet" produced from Air Corps aerial photography, capturing the fine-grained transition between riverfront industry and the rural uplands of Peak Mountain. Small hubs such as Poquonock, Rainbow, and Hayden are mapped in detail, showing the historical distribution of homes and businesses along the river's bend. To the north and west, the smaller crossroads of West Suffield and East Granby appear as they stood in the late 1920s, providing a clear record of the region's road network and land use during a period of steady Connecticut River Valley growth.
