DescriptionMap of Glastonbury, Connecticut, extending from the borders of Hartford and Manchester to the north, Hebron and Marlborough to the east, Portland and East Hampton to the south, and the Connecticut River to the west. Created for Glastonbury's tercentenary, the map contains the locations, dates and owners' names of residences and industries that existed before 1800, as well as business and public buildings contemporary to the map. The original purchase, public common and second five mile purchase are delineated in broken solid and broken solid and dotted lines. Natural features include the Connecticut River, lakes, and the use of green color to denote forests. To the top left of the map, there is a vignette featuring "The Great Oak at Wassuc," and to the right, there is a vignette of Revered Timothy Stevens' house from 1693 and one of the John Hollister House from 1675. Text recounting the history of the founding and settling of Glastonbury appears around the map.
