About this map

The Bradley Field US Military Reservation dominates the central landscape of this mid-1940s survey, marking a period of significant military and aviation expansion in Hartford County. The Connecticut River forms the eastern boundary, while the Farmington River winds through the south, feeding into local industry and agriculture at Rainbow and Poquonock. The area retains its deep educational and institutional roots, evidenced by the Suffield Academy and the presence of Old Newgate Prison on the western slopes of West Suffield Mountain. Transportation is defined by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line, which parallels the river through Windsor Locks. Scattered rural schoolhouses like Hazelwood Sch and Boston Neck Sch sit alongside family-named landmarks such as Taintor Hill and Cains Pond, reflecting the historic settlement patterns before the post-war suburban shift.
