DescriptionMap of Middlefield, Connecticut, from the town line of Middletown to the north and east, the town line of Durham to the south, and the New Haven county line to the west. Middlefield is split into four districts, the North, Rockfall, East and South. The map depicts land lots, labeled with the owner's name. Buildings are indicated with closed black squares. One cemetery is colored green. Natural features include elevation, conveyed with hachure marks, and ponds. The Air Line Railroad runs through the town.
Label TextMiddlefield had been a separate town for less than ten years when F.W. Beers published this map in his 1874 atlas. Middlefield first came into existence in 1744 as Middlefield Parish, a small rural community in the southwest corner of the town of Middletown. It was still a small rural community when it was incorporated as a separate town in 1866.
